These hints used to appear every time. They now appear only when:\n\n- the hint applies at that moment\n\n- the hint has not yet expired for the session\n\n**Why**\n\nThe agent hints no longer stay on screen permanently, so the footer can quiet down once they have done their job.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
