Purpose

Toggle journaling on/off, or start a journal entry.

Usage

/journal on — Enable daily journaling prompts
/journal off — Disable journaling (daily planning works without it)
/journal — Start today's journal (morning or evening based on time)

/journal week — Start weekly journal

Behavior

Update System/user-profile.yaml journaling section to enable all types (morning: true, evening: true, weekly: true)
Create 00-Inbox/Journals/ folder if it doesn't exist
Confirm: "Journaling enabled. I'll prompt you for morning reflection before daily planning, and offer evening reflection at end of day. Your journals will be in 00-Inbox/Journals/."

`/journal off`

Update System/user-profile.yaml journaling section to disable all types (morning: false, evening: false, weekly: false)
Confirm: "Journaling disabled. Daily planning will work normally without journal prompts. Your existing journals are preserved in 00-Inbox/Journals/."
Do NOT delete existing journal entries

`/journal` (no argument)

Check current time:

Before 12pm → Start morning journal
After 12pm → Start evening journal

`/journal morning`
