CLI-first AI code review — BYOK, diff/scan/branch, pre-commit hooks
//! Adversarial comment defense for LLM code review (ALIBI, arXiv:2607.24964).
//!
//! ALIBI shows LLM reviewers are highly vulnerable to adversarial source-code
//! comments that steer reviewer reasoning without changing program behavior
//! (attack success >90% across 125 real-world vulnerabilities). The most
//! effective attacks fabricate external-tool results (e.g. claiming a
//! sanitizer check already passed).
//!
//! Key finding: **prompt-level defenses are insufficient** against adaptive
//! attacks — only architectural measures help:
//! 1. **Sanitization** — strip comments from added diff lines before the LLM
//!    sees them (opt-in, `review.sanitize-comments: true`).
//! 2. **Heuristic flagging** — detect added comments that claim verification
//!    or tool results and surface them in review context as untrusted claims,
//!    so the reviewer treats them as attacker-controllable text, not facts.
//!
//! Stripping replaces the comment body with `[comment removed]` so line
//! numbers and diff structure stay intact.
