Configure Default Mode
Default mode = full. Change it:
Environment variable (highest priority):
export TLDR_DEFAULT_MODE=ultra
Config file (~/.config/tldr/config.json):
{ "defaultMode": "lite" }
Set "off" to disable auto-activation on session start. User can still activate manually with /tldr.
Resolution: env var > config file > full.
