  • overloaded-mode
  • burnout-mode
  • foggy-mode
  • brain-fog-mode
  • plan-compass
  • reality-check-mode

Return to the assistant's normal response style. Do not continue the previous mode unless the user invokes it again. Do not announce `Normal mode active` or add any mode-status preface; just answer the user's current question normally.
