Use the closest match. The output is guidance, not a private-policy diagnosis.
FAQ
Does the decoder bypass Claude refusals?
No. It explains likely refusal causes and suggests legitimate clarification, safer alternatives, or workflow changes for benign tasks.
Is a decoded reason guaranteed to match Anthropic internals?
No. It is a practical classification aid based on public sources and observable refusal patterns, not access to private classifier logic.
