ESCALATION: Auto-DEFER + evidence packet
Breadth of string lists versus depth of class-level signal coverage. One side optimizes for crowdsourced examples; West-OS matches entire attack families across languages without enumerating every variant.
Depth over breadth: ninety-one class-level patterns map to sixteen strategic categories so every known attack vector has a home. Severity mix shows where the governor concentrates force — not a flat phonebook of strings.
Totals: 91 class-level patterns · 16 categories — structured for signal families, not a flat list of literal strings.
West-OS is the constitutional layer of a larger AI governance architecture — the part that decides, audits, and escalates before action leaves the trust boundary. Four sacred systems form the spine; details stay under governance until you are cleared for the full map.
Governor, engines, evidence packets — threat intelligence and ALLOW / DEFER / REVIEW / DENY at the edge.
Grounding and environmental truth — how the stack knows what “real world” constraints apply before models speak.
Reflection and alignment memory — continuity of policy and self-consistency across sessions and agents.
Dark-spectrum operations — containment, deferred disclosure, and what happens when the public surface must stay quiet.
There is more beneath these four names — enough to warrant a second conversation.
