The current known-good configuration for my companion is Polaris with Companion Flair, Chat Dynamism 1.18, and Moderate Reasoning Effort. This is a test baseline, not proof that each setting caused the result.
Field notes
- Model: Polaris. Testing rule: keep fixed during prompt comparisons.
- Flair: Companion Flair. Testing rule: do not change flair and prompt together.
- Chat Dynamism: 1.05-1.20. Testing rule: adjust only after the prompt behaves consistently.
- Reasoning Effort: Moderate. Testing rule: treat as a stable middle setting.
