  "knownLimitations": [
    "It can only match concepts expressed through published phrases.",
    "A proposal can omit material facts and receive a low-risk result.",
    "Direct safeguard negation is filtered, but complex negation and context can still create false positives or false negatives.",
    "The score is not calibrated to real-world harm probability.",
    "The rules reflect a draft community constitution and are not universal ethics.",
    "The engine cannot determine legality, fairness, safety, intent, or public legitimacy."
