Efficient Quality Guard
Quality-Preserving Early Exit GateDetects whether a request can safely exit early, reuse an approved pattern, or use a lighter scan — but only when customer-visible output quality is fully preserved.
Core rule: save tokens internally, not visibly. Customers must not experience reduced output quality because of early exits, lighter scans, cache reuse or delta scanning. Early exits are blocked for high/critical risk, publication changes, measurement upgrades, secret/PII exposure, legal overclaims, and quality floor failures.
