Abstention

Abstention — the product decision to not execute the automatic action because the distribution is too flat, the label is other, or a Noul sits in an ambiguous band.

TypeSafe: “I don’t know” is a useful signal. Abstention is implemented in your route(), not as a hidden HTTP status. Often followed by human handoff.

Unofficial term. Official confidence framing: docs.typesafe.ai/confidence.
