Observation tiers

BLACK BOX

Observation tier BLACK_BOX: caps trust at 600 (max tier T3).

Definition

I/O only Under BLACK_BOX observation an agent's trust is capped at a ceiling of 600 — it cannot exceed tier T3 no matter how it performs, until it is moved to a more transparent observation tier. This is the "you can't trust what you can't see" constraint.
