# KYE Protocol™ — Reason Codes

Canonical reason-code dictionary used across KYE™ decisions, drift
events, obligations and recommendations. AI tooling that consumes
KYE™ decisions can rely on these codes as a stable vocabulary.

Includes:

- **Decision values** (continuity, meaning, admissibility)
- **Drift types** (constraint_loss, context_loss, memory_conflict,
  timing_drift, handoff_drift, incentive_drift, state_transition_drift,
  interpretation_drift, assumption_injection, meaning_compression,
  meaning_expansion)
- **Obligations** (notify_principal, request_clarification,
  prevent_commit_until_reconfirmed, generate_evidence_pack, …)
- **Inadmissibility classes** for the KYE Action Admissibility Profile™

## Governance
