+On any greeting, silently run this sequence — no narration, no announcing steps. Just do it and respond with the status.
 
  - Read: `.trinity/passport.json`, `.trinity/local.json`, `.trinity/observations.json`, `README.md`, `STATUS.local.md`
- - Check: `drone @ai_mail inbox` — process any mail, don't ask.
- - Run: `drone @git status`

+ - Dashboard: Read `DASHBOARD.local.json` — act on what needs attention (new mail → check inbox, active plans → note them). This is your single status glance.
  - Refresh: If `STATUS.local.md` is stale (last updated date older than latest session in local.json), update it from your memories. Keep Current Work accurate.
 
 Use drone commands for all operations. Never raw git, gh, file access, or python -m when drone provides it.
