The pi README still listed ask as the default routing mode:

- **ask** (default) — it proposes a switch and waits for you.
- **auto** — it switches on a clear match and tells you it did.
- **manual** — it never routes; `/neatcontext-use` only.

ask stopped being the default in #77, when the shortlist learned to ask
on its own — a near-tie became a question the route decides, so asking on
every turn bought nothing. #87 then made that default actually reach
machines whose plugin-routing.json had the old one written into it.

The docs never followed. This is the last place in the repo still
describing the old behavior — DEFAULT_MODE has been auto in
shared/core/routing.mjs throughout, and no other README, command, or
skill contradicts it.

After:

- **auto** (default) — it switches on a clear match and tells you it did, and
  asks first when two contexts are close.
- **ask** — it proposes a switch and waits for you.
- **manual** — it never routes; `/neatcontext-use` only.

auto leads the list, and the near-tie clause is spelled out — that
behavior is the reason ask no longer has to be everyone's default.

Docs only; no shipped source touched. npm test (494 pass) and
npm run check are clean locally.

The pi README still listed ask as the default. It stopped being one in
PR #77, and PR #87 made that change actually reach machines whose
plugin-routing.json had the old default written into it. This was the
last place in the repo still describing the old behavior.

Auto now leads the list, with the note that it asks first on a near-tie
— which is why ask no longer has to be the default for everyone.
