Checks if message contains question mark AND context reference keywords +2. If yes β†’ high confidence (0.85) β†’ route to AI without re-reading files +3. If no question mark but has context reference β†’ medium confidence (0.75) β†’ route to AI +4. Prevents AI from "forgetting" and re-processing same context + +--- + +### 2.
