Control and visibility
Household admins manage default AI mode and feature toggles.
Members can set a personal notification level and opt out of proactive AI notifications for themselves.
AI usage metrics are available, including notifications, API calls, and estimated costs.
Data safety
AI context retrieval is scoped per household — never shared across families.
Authentication and membership are enforced before protected AI actions.
Key AI and insight changes are recorded with server-side audit logging.
