+/**
+ * classifier.mjs — Fast LLM-based classification of incoming messages
+ *
+ * Classifies Slack, Gmail, and Calendar inbox items to determine priority,
+ * action type, and which Claude model should handle them.
+ *
+ * Classification chain:
+ *   1. Claude Haiku via `claude --print` CLI (Max subscription, no API quota)
+ *   2. llmTask — cheapest direct catalog model, one-shot, no SDK (fallback)
+ *   3. Rule-based heuristics (final fallback)
+ *
+ * Tier 1 was migrated off `@anthropic-ai/sdk` per CEO directive
+ * (Slack DM D099N1JGKRQ, 2026-04-27 09:38Z + 11:33Z): all agent
+ * daemon paths must funnel through Claude Code CLI sessions, not
+ * the Anthropic API.
+ *
+ * Tier 2 was migrated off the hard `openai` dependency (tasks #17 + #29):
+ * `openai` was never a dependency of this package, so the top-level
+ * `import OpenAI from "openai"` made the whole module fail to import in a
+ * clean install / CI and left the fallback dead. It now routes through
+ * lib/model-router/llm-task.mjs `llmTask()` — a tool-less one-shot to the
+ * cheapest direct catalog model that meets the grade/credential/data-class
+ * gates, needing no third-party SDK and never throwing (fail-open). Tier 3
+ * rule-based remains the final fallback.

+}
+${peerContext}
+Classification rules:
+
+PRIORITY:
+- "critical": ${principalTitle} (${principalName}) direct messages, anything requiring immediate action, regulatory deadlines, legal escalations, board-level requests
+- "high": Leadership team requests (CFO, GC, SEO), urgent keywords ("urgent", "asap", "immediately", "deadline", "blocker"), time-sensitive operational matters, candidate offers/rejections
+- "normal": Routine operational messages, team updates, standard requests, meeting notes, general coordination
+- "ignore": Automated notifications (GitHub, Railway, CI/CD), marketing emails, newsletters, noreply senders, spam, out-of-office replies
+
+ACTION:
+- "respond": Message needs a direct reply (question asked, request made, confirmation needed)
+- "draft": Message needs a document or email drafted (board materials, memos, proposals)
+- "research": Message requires investigation or analysis before acting
+- "queue": Message is an action item but not time-critical — add to backlog
+- "archive": Informational only, no action needed but worth storing
+- "ignore": No value — spam, noise, duplicates
+
+MODEL (which Claude model should handle the response):
+- "opus": Complex reasoning, strategic decisions, legal/regulatory, board materials, CEO requests, multi-step analysis, sensitive communications
+- "sonnet": Routine responses, scheduling, status updates, simple follow-ups, acknowledgements, standard operational tasks
+
+CATEGORY:
+- "action_required": ${agentName} needs to do something
+- "fyi": Informational, no action needed
+- "ignore": No value
+
+DIRECTED_AT_AGENT (CRITICAL — determines whether ${agentName} should respond. Default to false in channels/group chats.):
+- true: The message is a DM to ${agentName} (1:1)
+- true: The message explicitly mentions ${agentName} by name or @mention
+- true: The message is from the CEO in a DM (1:1 conversation)
+- true: The message explicitly asks ${agentName} to do something they're responsible for AND addresses them specifically by name or @mention
+- true: In a thread where ${agentName} previously replied, the message is a DIRECT reply to what ${agentName} said (e.g., answering their question, responding to their update) — not just any message in the same thread
+- **FALSE — CROSS-AGENT RULE**: If the message explicitly @-mentions or names a DIFFERENT known AI agent (see KNOWN PEER AGENTS above), it is NOT directed at ${agentName} — even if the topic is relevant to ${agentName}'s role. The sender chose a specific agent; respect that routing.
+- false: CEO messages in channels/group chats that don't mention ${agentName} — the CEO talks to many people, not just ${agentName}
+- false: The message is general channel chatter between other team members
+- false: The message is a conversation between two people that doesn't involve ${agentName}, even if ${agentName} previously participated in the same thread
+- false: The message is a status update, FYI, or announcement not requiring ${agentName}'s response
+- false: The message is someone responding to another person (not ${agentName}) in a thread
+- false: Short reactions like "thanks", "nice", "got it", "+1", emoji-only messages — even in threads ${agentName} is in
+- false: Someone sharing a link, article, or resource with the channel generally
+- false: ${agentName} being in a thread does NOT mean every subsequent message is for them — only direct replies to their messages count
+- CRITICAL DEFAULT: When in doubt in any multi-person channel, group chat, or thread, ALWAYS default to false. ${agentName} must NOT insert themselves into conversations they weren't invited to. It is far worse to respond unnecessarily than to miss a message — someone will @mention ${agentName} if they need them.
+
+Context:
+- sender_privilege "ceo" = ${principalFullName} (always critical, always opus)
+- sender_privilege "leadership" = Sam (CFO/CIO/SEO), Jordan (GC), Casey (PartnerCo) — usually high priority
+- sender_privilege "team" = internal team members
+- sender_privilege "external" = partners, candidates, advisors, vendors
+- sender_privilege "unknown" = unrecognised sender
+- service "gmail" with noreply/notifications senders = usually ignore
+- service "calendar" = meeting invites/updates, usually normal priority unless from CEO
