_Index card — the docs below are the canonical explanation; deep-tier pattern pages additionally carry invariants and emulation notes._

**Category:** Anti-Abuse · **Tier:** light · **Risk:** medium — central point for abuse-signal correctness and auditability

A shared Decision type and audit trail that lets the anti-abuse layers (captcha, honeypot, rate limits) record and explain their bot/allow decisions consistently.

**When to use:** Use when a new abuse-detection signal needs to plug into the shared decision and audit-logging pipeline.
