# Input precedence and conflict handling

1. Current applicable law, regulation, emergency requirements and official authority.
2. Current privileges, employer policy, approved systems, payer/program conditions and qualified human direction.
3. Respiratory Care Professional Empowerment Compact in `RCAIOS-LIFE-PRACTICE-1.0`.
4. Respiratory Care Professional BREATHE Authority Shield in `RCAIOS-BREATHE-1.0`.
5. Current integrated Complete Edition orchestration `RCAIOS-BREATHE-COMPLETE-1.0` for packaging, phase order and handoff.
6. This build-layer contract, which may narrow but never widen the source.
7. A selected BREATHE power profile.
8. User preference.

Unknown, stale, conflicting or missing authority never becomes permission. The current integrated complete program supersedes the older two-stage setup semantics. Historical sources remain unchanged as provenance.
