dirge-agent 0.18.3

Minimalistic coding agent written in Rust, optimized for memory footprint and performance
//! Shared content guard for the long-term-memory and skills stores.
//!
//! Both [`crate::extras::memory_db`] and [`crate::extras::skills::guard`]
//! screen incoming text for prompt-injection, shell-injection, and
//! credential/data-exfiltration attempts plus invisible-Unicode smuggling.
//! They had drifted into two private copies with different pattern sets, so
//! a threat one store caught could slip past the other. This module owns the
//! unioned pattern set and the scan; each caller keeps its own error wording.
