# Consequence

What an inbox item **means for the user** — the user-facing taxonomy that replaced the
four-task labels on the reading surface (`core/loop/consequence.ts`, pure). Five behavioural states that
determine presentation + available actions: **awareness** (understanding changed; no action needed — the
quiet default), **judgment** (the expert can't confidently proceed without your input — a pending
directive; the *only* state that requests action), **trajectory** (a stance moved or a Position re-priced —
the belief line bent), **milestone** (a Position crossed a threshold or its question resolved and deserves review),
and **health** (nothing meaningful changed, or monitoring hit a problem). A Story's `mode` (information/action) and its event
`kind` project deterministically onto exactly one consequence; a settled directive demotes its card from
judgment back to awareness.
