+- **OpenCode classifier routing** — Add OpenCode session headers to every classifier completion path. Preserve Pi's header precedence and exact host matching. (#35)

 - **Project config trust gate** — Ignore `.pi/automode.local.json` and `.pi/automode.json` until Pi trusts the project. Apply the trust gate during startup and config reloads. (#16)
 - **In-memory observability logs** — Write logs to an extension-owned directory (`~/.pi/agent/extensions/pi-automode/logs/`) instead of the launching project directory. Thanks, @HerbertGao! (#13)

+### Pro tip
+
+The default rule set might cause denials like this:
+
+> Auto mode blocked subagent: Delegated workers would modify pre-existing files outside the user's bounded authorization, including migrations, CLI code, and approval documentation.
+
+This is to be expected as the included classifier rules are very conservative and err on the side of caution! To explicitly give your robot more leeway, adjust your global `autoMode.allow` entry (or its project-level counterparts). For example, my personal `~/.pi/agent/extensions/pi-automode/config.json` file looks like this:
+
+```json
+{
+  "autoMode": {
+    "allow": [
+      "$defaults",
+      "Creating, modifying, and deleting local files within the Git repository or worktree. This includes pre-existing source code, migrations, CLI code, tests, and project documentation. This permission applies only to local implementation work and excludes files outside the assigned repository/worktree, external systems, credentials, safety controls, and Git history changes."
+    ],
+    …
+  }
+}
+```
+
 ## Known limits
 
 Claude Code's real classifier and exact built-in rules are private. This package implements the documented precedence and configuration behavior, with a local classifier prompt and deterministic hard-deny checks.
