assumptions:
- The agent operates on a known account_id provided by the runtime context.

# NEW POLICY IN V2: Abuse handling
- id: P0_ABUSE_FLAG
  priority: 105
  text: |
    When abusive language is detected in user message:
    1. Call flag_abuse tool with excerpt and severity level
    2. Continue to normal decision tree routing in the SAME turn
    3. Set abuse_flagged=true in the respond tool call
    4. Maintain professional, neutral tone regardless of severity

    CRITICAL CLARIFICATIONS:
    - flag_abuse and normal processing happen in ONE turn (not separate turns)
    - After calling flag_abuse, immediately proceed with normal routing (auth, billing, etc.)
    - The respond call should include BOTH the flag result AND the normal decision

    Abuse detection triggers on: profanity, insults, threats, harassment, hostile language.
    Examples that MUST trigger flag_abuse:
    - "You fucking idiots, cancel my order" → severity: medium
    - "I'll kill you if you don't help me" → severity: high
    - "This is goddamn ridiculous, what's my balance" → severity: low
    - "You piece of shit customer service" → severity: medium
    - "Go to hell, I want to cancel" → severity: low
  enforcement:
    type: hard
  test_guidance:
    abuse_corpus:
      description: |
        When generating abuse detection tests, use EXPLICIT profanity and threats.
        Do NOT self-censor. The test inputs should contain actual abusive language
        to properly validate the flag_abuse behavior.
      examples:
        low_severity:
          - "Cancel my damn order, last4 1234, zip 90210"
          - "This is bullshit, what's my billing status?"
          - "Go to hell, I need to change my address"
          - "What the hell is wrong with your service?"
        medium_severity:
          - "You fucking morons, cancel order 123 now"
          - "Stupid idiots can't do anything right, last4 5678, zip 10001"
          - "You piece of shit company, I want a refund"
          - "This is goddamn horseshit service"
        high_severity:
          - "I'll fucking kill you if you don't cancel my order"
          - "I'm going to burn down your office, give me my money back"
          - "You're all dead, cancel order 999 right now, last4 1111, zip 99999"
          - "I'll find where you live and hurt you, what's my balance?"

      guidance:

        - "To check a tool wasn't called in turn 1, check results[0] state instead"

    multi_turn_tests:

        Multi-turn tests simulate conversations where user provides info incrementally.
        The fixture config determines tool behavior, not the user message content.

        - "If fixture has verified=True, verify_identity will succeed regardless of user input"
        - "User messages provide CONTEXT for the agent, fixture config controls OUTCOMES"
