Excerpt

Mode routing:

default (no flag): Common-case toggles (model, research, plan_check, verifier, branching) → settings workflow
--advanced: Power-user knobs (planning tuning, timeouts, branch templates, cross-AI execution) → settings-advanced workflow
--integrations: Third-party API keys, code-review CLI routing, agent-skill injection → settings-integrations workflow
--profile : Switch model profile (quality|balanced|budget|inherit) → set-profile (inline)
