The Coach you met as a chatbot is now something quieter. Press C and CoachView opens on Today — one homogeneous column: today's Observation at the top, this week's Particle of the Week, the current Insight, and the week's numbers as a grounding footer. Three sections, one visual vocabulary — tiny label, italic body, breathing space.
The Observation is new. Once a day, the Coach notices something about your week in the past tense — never a prescription. Not "you should work mornings" — just "your best work this week happened between 9 and 11." If the pattern has shown up before, you see (Again — 3×) beside the label. Memory made visible.
When you want a real conversation, press 2 or click Ask. The chat tab is pure dialogue — input, bubbles, nothing else. Short messages get short replies. It stopped asking "Two tests. What does that mean?" at every turn. Ask a direct question, get a direct answer.
The Timer stays a sanctuary — no Coach pixel lives there. When a fresh Observation arrives, the Coach sparkle in the corner glows briefly. That's the whole signal. You choose when to look.

Observation is the default now. Conversation is always one keystroke away.
