Print exactly the following, nothing else:
```
Attic · offload context into .attic/, keep the chat lean
/attic [lite|full|ultra|off] set level (default: full)
/attic default <level> make a level the default for new sessions
/attic-stash [title] stash the latest finding / result / decision
/attic-recall <slug|words> pull an item back and summarise it
/attic-index list everything stashed in this project
/attic-sweep save plan + open questions + state; run before /compact
/attic-pin <slug> [--unpin] always inject this item, never trim it
/attic-prune [--apply] archive OLD items (dry run by default)
/attic-review [slug] which findings may no longer match the code
/attic-fail record an approach that did not work, and why
/attic-doctor check .attic/ for drift, orphans and leaked secrets
/attic-help this screen
Levels
lite stash only when asked or at task end
full stash after every investigation, point at handles, never repeat
ultra stash everything non-trivial, replies are handle + 3 lines
off dormant
Trust type finding | decision | note | failed-approach | workaround
confidence unknown | unverified | verified (default: unverified)
freshness current | possibly-stale | needs-review | unknown
possibly-stale means a cited file MOVED, not that the finding is wrong
Layout .attic/INDEX.md · .attic/DECISIONS.md · .attic/items/<slug>.md
.attic/archive/<slug>.md (recallable, not injected)
Index pinned items first, then newest; older items collapse to a summary
Handle attic:<slug>
Env ATTIC_DEFAULT_MODE=lite|full|ultra|off
