- User preference on work modes: use both modes depending on task size.
  - Small tasks / casual chat: quick Q&A, produce output directly.
  - Large tasks: project mode with pre-flight (clarifying questions + milestones) and wait for confirmation before long runs.

- Bitwarden/Vaultwarden setup:
  - Dedicated Bitwarden account for XiaoCao only.
  - Self-hosted server (vault.iuv.asia:9443 observed via bw status).
  - User wants simplified workflow (avoid entering master password every time) with reasonable security.
