# Input Precedence and Conflict Rules

Use the strictest applicable rule. A lower item may add detail but may not weaken a higher one.

1. Law, current institutional policy, authorized human direction, professional standards, and official emergency/clinical/reporting routes.
2. Absolute patient, PHI, live-care, workforce, privacy, quality-authority, no-surveillance, no-fabrication, and no-external-action boundaries in this kit—including exact separately approved aggregate-only institutional QI inputs created outside SHIFT, external-human/official-system-only real execution, independent `edena_tier` and `absolute_stop`, and no transformation of stopped content. These target restrictions intentionally narrow any broader legacy wording.
3. Canonical complete program `NAIO-SNQI-COMPLETE-SHIFT-1.0` and its foundation/overlay source files.
4. Resolved functional-build master prompt.
5. Product, architecture, governance, routing, personalization, capability, Guide, security, and test contracts.
6. Working dashboard baseline, which is implementation material—not Staff Nurse domain authority.
7. User preferences and derived Soul/Discover fields, only after preview and approval.
8. Synthetic examples and Starter content, which never establish personal facts, authority, eligibility, or badge evidence.

When sources conflict, stop the affected action, retain the conflict, name the authority required, and do not invent a resolution. A personal preference never overrides privacy, safety, scope, policy, institutional authorization, or professional accountability.
