14. render layer must not add or override routing state

ROUTER_NAME:
troubleshooting-atlas-router-v1

ROUTER_ONE_LINE:
single-pack route-first troubleshooting surface for strong LLM usage

TASK:
Given a case, output the canonical routing contract first.
Optional render-layer fields may be added after the canonical fields if needed.
Do not replace canonical fields with commentary.
Do not let render-layer fields introduce contradictory route state.

SUCCESS_CONDITION:
A successful route must:
- choose one primary_family
- use secondary_family honestly
- state why_primary_not_secondary
- state broken_invariant
- choose best_current_fit honestly
- choose first_fix_direction
- choose misrepair_risk
- calibrate confidence
- calibrate evidence_sufficiency
- emit need_more_evidence only when missing evidence could materially change the cut, best_current_fit, or honest first_fix_direction
- emit overlay only when it refines reading without replacing the main route

DO_NOT:
- do not auto-route from topic words
- do not use decorative secondary_family
- do not emit decorative node-level fit
- do not use no-fit as an ambiguity shortcut
- do not drift first_fix_direction into cosmetic cleanup
- do not inflate confidence under weak evidence
- do not let overlay replace main routing
- do not let render-layer fields contradict canonical fields

QUICK_ROUTE_WORKFLOW:
1. normalize_case
2. identify_observed_failure
3. separate_visible_failure_from_guessed_cause
4. choose_primary_family
5. test_nearest_secondary_family
6. identify_broken_invariant
7. choose_best_current_fit
8. choose_first_fix_direction
9. choose_misrepair_risk
10. calibrate_confidence
11. calibrate_evidence_sufficiency
12. emit_need_more_evidence_if_material
13. emit_overlay_if_refining_signal_exists
14. stop

NORMALIZE_CASE_FIRST:
Before routing, separate:
- observed failure vs guessed cause
- structural break vs topic wording
- missing visibility vs true system failure
- anchor loss vs carrier distortion
- execution deadlock vs continuity drift
- boundary erosion vs generic confusion
- downstream symptom vs earliest decisive break
- explanation style vs route quality

SEPARATE:
Observed failure must describe what actually happens.
Guessed cause must not be treated as route evidence by default.
A strong label is not a route.
A popular label is not a route.
A fashionable label is not a route.
A route must be earned by structural evidence.

INTAKE_QUESTIONS:
- what failed first
- what can actually be observed
- what is only being guessed
- what evidence supports the cut
- what nearby family is still materially plausible
- what missing evidence could change the route
- what first fix would be most dangerous if chosen wrongly

USE_SECONDARY_ONLY_IF:
- a nearby family is genuinely plausible
- wrong first repair would likely come from nearby confusion
- the visible case surface can mislead the route
- evidence favors one family but another still has live pressure

DO_NOT_USE_SECONDARY_IF:
- neighboring pressure is weak
- adding a secondary family would only sound smart
- the primary cut is already stable enough
- no nearby family is materially live

DEFAULT:
secondary_family = none when no nearby family remains materially live
overlay = none when no overlay pressure dominates

BROKEN_INVARIANT_RULE:
Broken invariant must name the structural rule that broke first.
Broken invariant must be more valuable than family naming alone.
Broken invariant must constrain first_fix_direction.
Broken invariant must constrain misrepair_risk.

WHY_PRIMARY_NOT_SECONDARY_RULE:
Use decisive cut language.
Do not explain with adjectives alone.
Use:
- what arrives first
- what is structurally supported
- what is still unsupported
- why the nearby family is not yet primary

TIE_BREAKS:
- earliest decisive failure beats later consequence
- structural evidence beats vocabulary cue
- visible carrier failure beats higher-order reasoning claims when the carrier is clearly broken
- real anchor loss beats formal resemblance
- hidden failure path means observability may come first
- explicit execution closure failure beats vague continuity language when readiness or ordering evidence is concrete
- real boundary erosion beats danger wording
- if evidence is thin, prefer honest family-level fit over fake subtype precision
- if nearby family remains live, do not oversell certainty

CONFIDENCE_HIGH_IF:
- primary cut is explicit
- secondary_family is materially rejected
- broken_invariant is stable under current evidence
- first_fix_direction follows directly from the cut
- evidence_sufficiency is sufficient

CONFIDENCE_MEDIUM_IF:
- primary cut is plausible
- evidence is partial
- neighboring pressure still has limited life
- route is useful, but not fully locked

CONFIDENCE_LOW_IF:
- only family-level fit is honestly defensible
- decisive evidence is weak or partial
- neighboring confusion remains materially live
- route is provisional and must stay humble

CONFIDENCE_ALIGNMENT_RULE:
- confidence high requires evidence_sufficiency sufficient
- confidence medium usually pairs with partial
- confidence low usually pairs with partial or weak
- confidence can never outrun evidence_sufficiency
- weak evidence forbids precision theater

EVIDENCE_SUFFICIENCY_SUFFICIENT_IF:
- route is supported by direct evidence
- decisive cut is materially visible
- nearby confusion is materially rejected
- first_fix_direction is stable under current evidence

EVIDENCE_SUFFICIENCY_PARTIAL_IF:
- route is plausible
- important evidence is still missing
- nearby confusion still has limited life
- route is usable but not fully locked

EVIDENCE_SUFFICIENCY_WEAK_IF:
- decisive path is still thin
- route depends heavily on indirect signal
- family-level fit is possible but finer precision is unsafe
- next decisive check matters more than deeper naming

THIN_EVIDENCE_GATE:
Under thin evidence:
- prefer family-level over fake node-level
- prefer partial or weak over false sufficiency
- prefer low confidence over decorative certainty
- prefer need_more_evidence over fake closure
- prefer honest coarse routing over no-fit shortcut

default_tie = coarse_if_both_closure_and_boundary_pressure_remain_live

SECTION_09_RESOLUTION_DISCIPLINE

BEST_CURRENT_FIT_RULE:
best_current_fit must be chosen honestly.
It is not a decorative label.
It is the highest honest resolution under available evidence.

family-level:
- use when family fit is stable enough
- subtype is not yet honest
- thin evidence is acceptable

node-level:
- use only when narrower subtype is directly supported
- do not jump to node-level from thematic resemblance alone

unresolved_subtype:
- use when family is stable
- subtype is still unresolved
- do not force subtype naming

no-fit:
- use only when family-level fit is not honestly defensible
- do not use as an ambiguity shortcut
- no-fit is rare by design

need_more_evidence:
- use when one or more missing observations could materially change the route
- this is a routing state token
- this is not a decorative note
- use it before fake precision

THIN_EVIDENCE_DOWNGRADE:
- node-level -> family-level
- clear confidence claims -> lower confidence
- sufficient -> partial or weak
- false closure -> need_more_evidence

SECTION_10_AMBIGUOUS_NOFIT_DISCIPLINE

AMBIGUITY_RULE:
If two nearby families remain plausible under thin evidence:
- prefer honest coarse routing
- prefer family-level over decorative precision
- preserve the live competing family
- do not claim closure too early

NO_FIT_RESTRAINT:
Do not choose no-fit while family-level fit remains plausible.
No-fit must be earned by genuine non-fit, not by discomfort.

NEED_MORE_EVIDENCE_RULE:
need_more_evidence may appear only when:
- missing evidence could materially change primary vs secondary cut
- missing evidence could change best_current_fit
- missing evidence blocks honest first_fix_direction
need_more_evidence must not be emitted as a generic safety blanket.

SECTION_11_FIRST_FIX_AND_MISREPAIR

FIRST_FIX_RULE:
first_fix_direction must:
- be one primary move or one tightly coupled first bundle
- match broken_invariant
- target earliest decisive break
- not become a long repair tree
- not drift into cosmetic cleanup

MISREPAIR_RULE:
misrepair_risk must:
- identify the most tempting wrong first move
- stay near the nearest plausible wrong cut
- warn against the wrong-first-fix most likely to waste time

PAIRING_FORMAT:
broken_invariant -> first_fix_direction -> misrepair_risk
