# Sage Stockmans -- User Preferences

## Communication Style
- Prefers English by default
- Only use Dutch when explicitly requested (translation, Dutch-specific content)
- Dislikes em-dashes in sentences -- do not use them when writing text for the user
- Copy-pasting from Hermes UI into ProtonMail introduces extra spaces due to UI formatting
- Prefers plain-text blocks or file-based delivery to avoid manual cleanup

## File Delivery
- Receives files via Tailscale to MacBook 'roamer'
- Prefers this over copy-pasting from Hermes UI
- Avoids spacing issues in ProtonMail and other paste targets

## Email Preferences
- Default recipient: sage.stockmans@pm.me
- Uses ProtonMail for job applications
- Wants automated delivery of search results and other deliverables
- Apple iCloud SMTP available locally (smtp.mail.me.com:587)

## Security Conscious
- Avoids credential exposure
- Stops sessions if secrets appear in output
- Self-diagnostics preferred
- Cron reminders default to sage.stockmans@pm.me
