Ghost Rating Questions

[Akabuu]

1. If i trigger the "Suspicious" mode of guards, for example by throwing an object to divert their attention, does it count as "seen/detected"? Or is it fine to use these lure tactics?
2. Does the rating apply in city "open world" areas as well? Cause in one mission i resolved it in such a way that the alert mode went into "Panic" status, even though it wasn't me directly causing the chaos.
3. In restricted areas, if a cop sees you and tells you to leave does that affect the Ghost Rating?

#1 Suspicious doesnt break ghost / undetected / no alarms rating

#2 Was searching steam for panic state myself

#3 If cop tells you to leave its ok, cover not blown

if it triggers "searching", then it counts as if you got spotted.

okay we got this mission with the fake cops checkpoint getting gunned down by real cops .. and they get status searching after that so I doubt devs were so blind about this getting in the way

Well, I threw a random grenade at some place that was empty in a mission. Cops went there "searching", and because of that, I didn't get the "ghost" nor the "smooth" bonus and jensen acted as if I went guns blazing in the cutscene.

So, I don't really know what's going on.
I'm not the only one who reported this same behavior btw

Then I hope missions and freeroam got different rules on that. You dont get ghost or anything from a side quests, well nothing indicates that ..
