## Safety Defaults

Actions requiring `--yes` confirmation:
- `lock`, `unlock`
- `trunk open`, `frunk open`
- `windows vent`, `windows close`
- `charge start`, `charge stop`, `charge limit`
- `engine on`, `engine off`
- `climate on`, `climate defrost on`, `climate-start`
- `honk`, `flash`, `horn`

## Privacy

- Tokens cached locally only (brand-specific paths)
- Location is approximate by default
- Do not commit tokens, VINs, or precise location data
- Use `--json` for machine-readable, privacy-safe output

## Examples

**Morning check — all cars:**
```
User: Check all my cars
Assistant: Runs summary --all for all 7 brands
```

**Lock from bed:**
```
User: Lock the Kia
Assistant: car-connect lock --brand kia --yes
```

**Pre-heat before trip:**
```
