Default mode = full. Change it:
Environment variable (highest priority):
export CROMAGNON-MAN_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra
Config file (~/.config/cromagnon-man/config.json):
{ "defaultMode": "lite" }
Set "off" to disable auto-activation on session start. User can still activate manually with /cromagnon-man.
Resolution: env var > config file > full.
