It warns viewers, supplies historical/mental‑health context, and offers safe‑viewing controls—all while preserving the archival record. Implemented via a lightweight metadata flag, a React UI component, optional ML detection, and simple age verification, the feature protects users, supports educators, and bolsters IA’s responsible‑access reputation. | Layer | What it does | UI
