This article introduces the *Policy Load Balancer (PoLB)*: a first-class “mode selector” that turns risk signals + ETH/EVAL/ID context into an *active mode descriptor* (risk band, mode name, allowed jump types, allowed RML levels, experiments on/off, engine whitelist), plus *degradation* and *kill-switch* rules.
