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.
