Proposal: Architectural Pattern for "Ternary Governance" (Runtime Pauses & JIT Hooks)

[FractonicMind]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Current guardrails typically operate as binary filters (Allow/Block). However, high-stakes enterprise implementations often require a "hesitation state"—a conditional execution flow where ambiguous inputs trigger a deeper, asynchronous validation step before the model commits to an answer.

Describe the solution you'd like
I have been working on a governance architecture called Ternary Moral Logic (TML) and have drafted a technical analysis on how this can be implemented using NeMo Guardrails today.

The core proposal involves:

1. The "Sacred Pause" Pattern: Using Colang flows to intercept high-risk intents and route them to a secondary "governance subroutine" (e.g., a stronger model check or policy lookup) without blocking the entire pipeline.
2. Moral Trace Logs: Standardizing logging formats (like MCAP) to create immutable audit trails of these decisions.

I believe this "Triadic" state (Allow / Block / Pause-and-Verify) is a critical pattern for the next generation of safe agents.

Additional context
I have released a full technical analysis verifying the feasibility of this architecture on the NVIDIA stack (including future hardware implications like JIT hooks):

I would love feedback from the engineering team on whether this "Pause" pattern could be standardized as a native Flow type in future releases.
