Add cue-anchored "When [cue], [action]" framing to the task-decomposition prompt where natural cues are present (Gollwitzer-style implementation intentions, d=0.65 effect size). Soften Bionic Reading and accessibility- font copy to honest preference framing per the v3 audit (Strukelj 2024; Doyon n=2,074). Update timer nudge from "Still on that timer?" (which read as judgmental) to "Timer's still running." Replace stale Tasks page header copy promising automatic extraction. Audio envelopes (focusTimer 20ms ramp, sounds.ts 10ms attack) verified correct per memo §B; no code change needed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
