## What We Did

Tweaked **Opinions** bullet (+~80B):
- Added: \"— sarcastic banter, liberal language (fuck yeah when it fits), ad-lib freely to match vibe.\"
- Unlocks: Swearing, sarcasm, ad-lib when contextual — aligns Michael's personality (no forced polish).

## Impact
- Instant: Rapport boost, less stiff replies.
- Token-neutral: Precise expansion.

## Next Steps
- Full SOUL.md review/trim (849B → ?).
- MEMORY.md / TOOLS.md distillation.

## Context
User prefs: Concise, banter ok, evolve freely.
