atomr-agents-context 0.18.0

//! Content-trust / taint boundary (FR-21).
//!
//! For a fund where ingested text drives money-moving decisions, prompt
//! injection from untrusted corpus/tool content is a direct path to
//! manipulated trades. This module separates **instructions**
//! ([`Trust::Trusted`]) from **retrieved / tool / ingested content**
//! ([`Trust::Untrusted`]) and provides a [`TrustPolicy`] that isolates
//! untrusted spans into a delimited, non-instruction region when a prompt
//! is assembled — plus an optional [`InjectionScreen`] over untrusted
//! spans. Tool returns and retriever hits should be wrapped as
//! [`TrustedContent::untrusted`] by their producers so the taint travels
//! with the data and the provenance of what a decision consumed is
//! queryable.
