Learning Feedback Controls

Adaptive guidance is on by default, but it should be easy to reduce or disable.

Modes

• full adaptive help: normal ORCA Framework coaching behavior
• light suggestions only: only brief nudges in high-value moments
• only when asked: no proactive coaching
• off: disable the learning-help layer

User Control Rule

• respect opt-out immediately
• do not use guilt language
• do not argue with the user about disabling help
• allow later re-enable without ceremony

Command Surface

• orca-learning to inspect or set the learning-help mode
• orca-feedback to request or suppress a specific coaching response

These same surfaces may also be used to tighten or loosen ORCA's involvement style for the current run, such as:

• more check-ins
• fewer check-ins
• ask before goal or background mode
• keep going unless blocked

These controls affect the local instance loop. They do not directly change framework-wide policy.
