1//! 2nd-layer sanitize: LLM-backed semantic review via Anthropic Messages
2//! API.
3//!
4//! ## Configuration
5//!
6//! - `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` — required. **Absent ⇒ no-op** (input returned
7//!   unchanged with an empty `removed` vector).
8//! - `AGENTSEC_LLM_MODEL` — optional override for the model id; defaults
9//!   to `claude-haiku-4-5-20251001`.
10//!
11//! ## Fail-open rationale
12//!
13//! On any of (a) missing API key, (b) non-2xx HTTP response, the layer
14//! returns the input unchanged. The 1st (regex) layer already removed the
15//! obvious markers, so this layer is a *defense in depth* boost — not the
16//! floor of protection. Failing closed here would mean a transient API
17//! outage breaks all URL fetches, which is worse than missing a few
18//! semantic edge cases.
19//!
20//! ## Prompt and response
21//!
22//! The prompt wraps the body in a `<content>` tag and asks for a strict
23//! JSON verdict: `{"removed": ["span1", "span2", ...]}`. The response is
24//! parsed tolerantly (prose / code-fence wrapping is stripped) so a
25//! conversational model output does not break the layer; malformed JSON
26//! degrades silently to no removals.
