 `prism_infer` supports three modes: `route` (tool routing, fast, nothink), `chat` (conversation with thinking), and `code` (code generation with thinking). In chat/code modes, the model uses `<think>` blocks for chain-of-thought reasoning, which are stripped before the response is served. If the local model fails a quality gate (empty, think-only, or truncated), paid tiers automatically escalate to Gemini 3.6 Flash via the Synalux portal.
 
+Every route-mode result is parsed locally and checked against `allowed_tools`
+before it reaches the host. Malformed or unadvertised calls become `NO_TOOL`.
+With `route_guard: "auto"` (the default), Standard and higher plans also send
+a well-formed draft for one of Prism's seven trained tools—or an unadvertised
+draft that may need correction—to Synalux for authenticated deterministic
+correction. Advertised custom host tools remain local. Set
+`route_guard: "local"` for a fully on-device route path.

-Every tool-grounded answer on paid tiers passes through deterministic L3 routing rules and an NLI grounding verifier before reaching the user. Free-tier users get the deterministic gates (L1, L3-Tool, L3-Tier0) without the model-based NLI check.
+Route output and evidence-grounded answers use separate gates. Every tier gets
+the local route parser and advertised-tool registry; Standard and higher plans
+can add the private deterministic route correction. Evidence verification is
+opt-in (or automatic when evidence is supplied) and remains separate from route
+selection.
