agentsec-core 0.4.0

//! 1st-layer sanitize: static Aho-Corasick pass over the most common
//! instruction-override / role-token markers.
//!
//! Compiled once into a `OnceLock`-cached automaton. Each match is replaced
//! with the literal `[STRIPPED]` and the matched needle is appended to the
//! `removed` list returned alongside the cleaned string.
//!
//! The pattern list is **narrower** than [`crate::paste::patterns`] on
//! purpose: this layer runs over fetched web content (which is mostly
//! benign prose), so a higher false-positive rate would hurt usability.
//! The paste detector lives one cell over (L5 × V1) and uses the wider
//! list.
