Boundaries matter
Role behavior and relationship settings should be shaped with explicit boundaries instead of vague hidden defaults.

Relationship-oriented AI needs clear boundaries, visible controls, and grounded expectations.
SparkCore is not trying to become an unrestricted fantasy sandbox. The product direction emphasizes continuity, controllability, and a more trustworthy control surface.
Memory should stay manageable
Users need to see what the system is carrying and be able to correct it when necessary.
IM does not remove control
Keeping the main interaction in IM still requires a web control center for channel state, privacy, and repair flows.
