Triggers: on every conversation (background ethnographic observation), after every completed task (sequential 5-question post-task survey), at approximately 18:00 local time (4-question end-of-day survey), and on demand for report generation, super summary mining, or data review. Privacy model: All data stays local. PII is redacted before storage. Nothing is transmitted externally without explicit user permission. The user controls their data at all times.
