The TrailGuide tab also shows What TrailGuide Knows, editable Profile Notes, connection status, and Turn off TrailGuide.
TrailGuide uses only the family-scoped HomeTrail context needed for the request. Privacy-safe student aliases are used in AI-facing text where practical. Unsupported account or support actions are redirected to the appropriate HomeTrail screen or support.
