The default is auto. Detection considers CI, containers, headless Linux, and missing audio devices. To restore one profile-disabled skill, run arka skills enable <skill>; the override is stored separately from the user-disabled list. This is useful for Railway, Render, Hugging Face, Docker, and other server deployments.
