Spoken. Inside a marked span opened by the wake word “Lingo”, the spoken form is style casual. Dictated directives fire deliberately, never by accident.
What the agent actually does
Restores the default voice and clears any style mode — the return trip, nameable in one word. Set with on, it records that the default itself is the standing choice.
The baseline procedure, its edge cases, and this directive's full guide live in the implementation guide: implementation/IMPLEMENTATION.md#cmd-style-casual ↗.
When the host can't
None specific to bind — the voice is register discipline any agent can perform. A host that cannot hold state across replies honors the voice within the reply and says mode persistence is unavailable.
Conformance — “done when”
The reply is in the everyday register — and any previous voice is off.
Persistence class: mode-state. Execution report in the reply: required. A user can test any of this by hand — fire the directive, then check the result against the store, the schedule, or the reply itself.
