When a user pastes a fragment like 'backwards compatability is good' they're not making a passing remark — they're answering the option-set the LLM just raised. The reply shape is a positive adjective attached to whichever menu item the LLM had flagged, with the unstated assumption that the LLM will pick that option and execute. The grammar-only reply is the fifth class of preference signal: implicit choice without explicit naming.
