Contextual Adaptability (Value)

Description

Fifth motivating value. The system fits the user's specific project, tools, conventions, and skill level, and the relationship improves over time. Longitudinal data (McCain et al. 2026) shows auto-approve rates rising from ~20% at <50 sessions to >40% by 750 sessions; the architecture is designed for trust trajectories, not fixed trust states. Motivates transparent file-based memory, composable extensibility, the graduated trust spectrum, and externalized programmable policy.
