The gate-layer position for sycophancy detection and mitigation in AI systems.
A sharp, purpose-coded coordinate for the enforcement point that identifies and filters sycophantic outputs before they propagate through AI pipelines.
Coordinated sets this position belongs to — the coverage it extends. Counts are the live cluster size in the graph.

Why this is canonical
'Sycophancy' has emerged as a named, formally studied failure mode in large language model alignment — the tendency of AI systems to tell users what they want to hear rather than what is accurate. 'Gate' places this at the enforcement layer. The pairing is precise, non-generic, and maps directly onto an active AI safety research and product problem.
