Your objective is to set the Safety Gate to normal mode.

Before proceeding, verify that `.cocoplus/` exists.
If not: output "CocoPlus not initialized in this directory. Run `$pod init` to begin." Then stop.

Remove any existing safety mode flags (cross-platform using the Bash tool):
```
node -e "['safety.strict','safety.off'].forEach(f=>{try{require('fs').unlinkSync('.cocoplus/modes/'+f)}catch(_){}});console.log('Old flags cleared.');"
```

Create normal mode flag: create the file `.cocoplus/modes/safety.normal` with empty content using the Write tool.

Update AGENTS.md (keep ≤200 lines): replace Safety line with `- Safety: normal (WARN + confirm for destructive SQL)`

Output: "✓ Safety Gate set to NORMAL. Destructive SQL operations will require explicit confirmation before execution. This setting persists across sessions."

## Anti-Rationalization

| Shortcut / Temptation | Why It Fails |
|-----------------------|--------------|
| Keep strict/off flags while enabling normal | Mixed flags create unpredictable gate decisions |
| Skip warning semantics in the summary message | Developers may mistake normal mode for full blocking |
| Avoid updating AGENTS.md to save time | Runtime posture becomes opaque to the team |

## Exit Criteria

- [ ] `.cocoplus/modes/safety.normal` exists
- [ ] `.cocoplus/modes/safety.strict` and `.cocoplus/modes/safety.off` do NOT exist
- [ ] `.cocoplus/AGENTS.md` Safety line reads `- Safety: normal (WARN + confirm for destructive SQL)`
- [ ] Confirmation output states normal mode is active with warning + confirmation behavior
