NE_URGENT

Skip the probe because waiting would violate an urgent safeguard; act or escalate first, collect only required monitoring.

Chest pressure, a tingling left arm, and you're typing symptoms into a search bar, trying to establish whether this is "really" cardiac before bothering anyone. Notice the transaction: you're spending exactly the minutes that matter most on a question whose answer shouldn't change your next move.

The rule: when waiting to gather evidence would violate an urgent safeguard, act or escalate first, and let the investigation happen afterward. The cue is a situation sitting on a known emergency list where the protective action is the same regardless of the diagnosis. Steps: recognize the tripwire (these symptoms are on that list), take the safeguarding action immediately (call emergency services), and collect only the monitoring information the responders actually need: when it started, what it feels like, what medications you take. The full diagnostic workup happens after you're safe, run by people with the right equipment. What changes is that minutes stop leaking into research that cannot improve the immediate decision. Guard the boundary, though: don't stretch "urgent" over choices that merely feel pressured by a salesperson or a deadline. Manufactured urgency is how good probes get skipped; this code is for real safeguards only.
