# US-004: Control personal tree felling

As a **player**, I want to turn automatic felling on or off independently of my unlocks so that I remain in control of how I mine.

## Acceptance criteria

- [ ] `/treefeller enabled <on|off>` enables or disables automatic felling for the issuing player.
- [ ] `/treefeller enabled` without a value reports the player's current preference and whether an administrative lock currently overrides it.
- [ ] The preference defaults to enabled for a player with no saved value.
- [ ] Changing the preference does not alter species progress or earned unlocks.
- [ ] Repeating the currently saved value is idempotent and reports that no change was needed.
- [ ] The player receives clear confirmation after a successful change.
- [ ] The saved preference survives logout and server restart.
- [ ] `/treefeller` provides concise usage for `enabled`, `unlocked`, and `undo` without advertising inaccessible administrative commands.
- [ ] Position-aware autocomplete suggests player subcommands and valid `on` or `off` values.
- [ ] Player commands use player permissions that are distinct from `treefeller.admin`; possession of player permissions does not grant `/treefelleradmin` access.
