Resolution: Care Override vs Other-Harm Veto
Conflict Reference(s)
docs/conflicts/care_override_vs_other_harm_veto.md
Resolution Decision
REE adopts a bounded override policy. Catastrophic high-certainty irreversible other-harm remains a hard veto. Care-investment weighting can influence ranking and can override only in non-catastrophic regimes when necessity, imminence, proportionality, and explainability gates are satisfied, followed by mandatory post-commit accountability logging. This preserves third-party protection while preventing paralysis in constrained tradeoff cases.

Open Follow-Ups
- Keep threshold calibration and false-positive/false-negative tradeoffs under social-control tuning work, not as a binary architecture conflict.
