What this covers
Emergency Mode is a manual, time-limited response for an attack in progress. It can require fresh challenges and tighten local limits without disabling the gateway.
Operational principles
- Prefer a recoverable challenge when risk is uncertain.
- Review reason codes before changing protection policy.
- Preserve attack evidence and avoid destructive emergency actions.
- Confirm behavior in a monitored environment before launch.
