# Conflict Type Reference

Cogna8 classifies conflicts by the nature of the inconsistency. Different conflict types carry different default severities and resolution approaches.

## Conflict Classification

Conflicts range from direct value disagreements to constraint violations and missing prerequisites. The classification determines default severity and available resolution options.
