Modes

Interactive Mode

• Present each issue for review
• Options: [A]ccept, [E]dit, [S]kip, [Q]uit
• Maximum control, slower

Batch Mode

• Auto-apply high-confidence fixes
• Skip low-confidence changes
• Present summary at end

Report-Only Mode

• Show what would change
• No modifications made
• Good for preview

Confidence Levels

Confidence	Auto-apply?	Examples
High	Yes	Simple word swaps, deletions
Medium	Review	Phrase restructuring
Low	Skip	Complex rewrites

Change Application Order

Apply changes from end to beginning to preserve positions:

1. Sort issues by position (reverse)
2. Apply each fix
3. Verify grammar after change
4. Log before/after

Verification

After all iterations:

1. Pattern check - Re-scan for remaining issues
2. Grammar check - No errors introduced
3. Meaning check - Original intent preserved
4. Coherence check - Text flows naturally

Output

## Humanization Report

**Status:** Clean after 3 iterations
