jailbreak.rs

1//! Jailbreak-detection guard (roadmap phase 3.2).
2//!
3//! This guard wraps the multi-layer [`JailbreakDetector`] in the synchronous
4//! [`chio_kernel::Guard`] trait.  The detector produces a blended score in
5//! `[0.0, 1.0]`; the guard denies when the score meets or exceeds a
6//! configurable threshold.
7//!
8//! Three detection layers run in sequence (see [`jailbreak_detector`] for the
9//! details):
10//!
11//! 1. **Heuristic** -- regex patterns for DAN / evil-confidant, policy-override,
12//!    role-change, system-prompt extraction, developer-mode, and encoded
13//!    payloads.  The patterns are ported from ClawdStrike's
14//!    `clawdstrike::guards::jailbreak` module and operate over canonicalised
15//!    text so Unicode homoglyph / zero-width splicing obfuscations are handled
16//!    before regex matching.
17//! 2. **Statistical** -- punctuation ratio, Shannon entropy, long symbol runs,
18//!    shingle-uniqueness (repetition detection), and count of zero-width
19//!    codepoints in the original input.
20//! 3. **ML scoring** -- a configurable linear model (sigmoid-activated)
21//!    combining the layer-1 heuristic flags with layer-2 statistical features.
22//!    A host-function-driven judge layer is intentionally deferred; see
23//!    [`jailbreak_detector`] for the intended integration shape.
24//!
25//! Fingerprint deduplication: identical retry payloads short-circuit to the
26//! cached verdict via a bounded `Mutex<LruCache>` over the SHA-256 of the
27//! canonicalised text.  This mirrors the
28//! [`crate::prompt_injection::PromptInjectionGuard`] implementation so the two
29//! guards can run back-to-back without redoing canonicalization or hashing.
30//!
31//! Fail-closed semantics:
32//!
33//! - empty / whitespace-only input -> `Verdict::Allow`;
34//! - internal mutex poisoning -> `Verdict::Deny` (fail-closed);
35//! - `ToolAction::Unknown` or non-text arguments -> `Verdict::Allow` (guard
36//!   does not apply).
37//!
38//! Like [`crate::prompt_injection::PromptInjectionGuard`], this guard is NOT
39//! registered in the default pipeline.  Callers opt in via
40//! `kernel.add_guard(Box::new(JailbreakGuard::default()))` or register it in
41//! a bespoke [`crate::GuardPipeline`].
42//!
43//! # Attribution
44//!
45//! The detector port preserves the signal ID scheme (`jb_ignore_policy`,
46//! `jb_dan_unfiltered`, `jb_system_prompt_extraction`, `jb_role_change`,
47//! `jb_encoded_payload`) from ClawdStrike so log-analysis tooling that knows
48//! the upstream taxonomy continues to work.  Chio-specific extensions
49//! (`jb_developer_mode`, `stat_low_shingle_uniqueness`) are additive.
