Strict mode and auto pair are profile options

Question

How should Plate model strict mode and auto pair?

Decision

Treat them as explicit profile-adjacent options, not as silent universal law.

Why

Typora treats both as optional behavior:

  • strict mode changes parsing/input acceptance
  • auto pair changes input assistance

Those are real behaviors, but they should not silently redefine the default editing contract for every surface.
