 Classifier calls use `ctx.signal`, a stable classifier-specific session ID, and `cacheRetention: "short"`. They do not force a temperature, because some providers reject the parameter; provider defaults are used instead. Unsupported providers ignore cache affinity.
 
-The fast stage requires one visible digit but allows `maxTokens: 4`, because some OpenAI-compatible servers count control and end-of-sequence tokens against the generation limit. Detailed review uses `maxTokens: 1200` and may retry once after malformed or truncated output.

+The fast-stage parser requires `stopReason: "stop"`, trims surrounding whitespace, and then accepts only `0` or `1`. Empty responses, additional non-whitespace content, malformed output, and non-stop responses block immediately. Observability logs preserve the untrimmed model response.
 
 The detailed parser accepts only the exact JSON object requested by the prompt from a response with `stopReason: "stop"`. It requires exactly `decision`, `tier`, and `reason`; rejects wrappers, extra fields, unknown tiers, and empty reasons; and fails closed on any shape drift. A truncated response with `stopReason: "length"` is retried but cannot authorize an action itself; other non-stop responses block immediately.
