+
+## Implementing Default Configuration Fixes
+
+Session began with a detailed implementation plan to fix Signet's ship defaults. The project currently ships with core features disabled (pipeline, graph, reranker, autonomous maintenance), leaving new users with a hollow product. Existing users who never explicitly configured these values are also running suboptimal defaults due to boolean resolution logic that hardcodes absent values to `false`.
+
+## Plan Overview
+
+The fix involves six coordinated changes across four files:
+
+1. **memory-config.ts**: Update DEFAULT_PIPELINE_V2 constant to enable pipeline, graph, reranker, and autonomous features. Modify loadPipelineConfig to use `typeof` checks instead of `=== true` comparisons, respecting absent values and falling back to defaults while preserving explicit user choices.
+
+2. **daemon.ts**: Add runtime auto-detection of extraction provider (claude, opencode, ollama fallback) after loading config.
+
+3. **cli.ts**: Implement extraction provider auto-detection in setup wizard and write complete nested pipelineV2 config instead of minimal flat format.
+
+4. **agent.yaml.template**: Add full documented pipelineV2 section with new defaults and document rehearsal_enabled option.
+
+## Key Technical Details
+
+A helper function `resolveBool(nested, flat, fallback)` will handle the three-tier resolution pattern for nested config with flat fallback keys. This preserves backward compatibility while enabling new defaults.
+
+Verification includes typecheck, build, existing tests, and manual tests for: default activation when config is absent, explicit user choices being respected, and provider auto-detection working correctly.
