# Function: floorTrustTier()

```ts
function floorTrustTier<T>(parent: T, entry: T): T;
```

Defined in: [src/batteries/llm/chat\_common/helpers.ts:182](https://github.com/NHTIO/ADK/blob/v1.20260713.1/src/src/batteries/llm/chat_common/helpers.ts#L182)

Clamp a stash entry's trust tier to its containing media's tier as a FLOOR: a stash entry may render
at the parent's tier or LOWER (less trusted), never HIGHER.

## Type Parameters

| Type Parameter         |
| ---------------------- |
| `T` *extends* `string` |

## Parameters

| Parameter | Type |
| --------- | ---- |
| `parent`  | `T`  |
| `entry`   | `T`  |

## Returns

`T`

## Remarks

The committee's #1-ranked escalation: a `third-party-private` Media carrying a stash entry tagged
`first-party` would otherwise render its fallback text in a `<trusted_content_…>` envelope (the
media-fallback renderer keys the envelope off the entry's OWN tier). That lets untrusted content
smuggle itself into the trusted tier. Flooring to the parent closes it: a child can de-escalate but
never escalate above the asset it belongs to.
