1//! Prompt-injection defense substrate (defense Layers 0/1).
2//!
3//! Three concerns live here:
4//!
5//!   * **Content provenance / taint** — a per-result [`TaintRecord`] tags
6//!     output that crossed a trust boundary (an external MCP server, or a
7//!     `Fetch`-kind tool reaching the open internet). The agent loop records
8//!     these on the session ledger so the dispatch gate can apply the
9//!     "lethal trifecta" rule (untrusted content in context + a tool that can
10//!     leak it outward => require confirmation).
11//!   * **Spotlighting** — [`spotlight_wrap`] frames untrusted observations in
12//!     delimiters (and, in [`SecurityMode::Strict`], datamarks every line) plus
13//!     a provenance banner, so the model treats the span as data rather than
14//!     instructions. (Microsoft "spotlighting", arXiv 2403.14720.)
15//!   * **Classification** — [`is_exfil_capable`] / [`is_destructive`] /
16//!     [`is_secret_path`] read the existing tool taxonomy so the gate knows
17//!     which tools can carry tainted context outward or read secrets.
18//!   * **Injection detection** (Layer 2) — an [`InjectionClassifier`] scores
19//!     untrusted content; the built-in [`HeuristicClassifier`] is always
20//!     available and dependency-free, and a downloadable neural model
21//!     (`harn-guard`) can override it via [`register_injection_classifier`]
22//!     without the default binary ever linking a model runtime. A flagged
23//!     score is recorded on the [`TaintRecord`] and tightens the trifecta gate.
24//!
25//! The active [`SecurityPolicy`] is a thread-local stack mirroring
26//! [`crate::redact`]; embedders override it per run via the `security_policy`
27//! builtin (Harn `std/security::configure`). The default is spotlight-on, so
28//! untrusted content is always framed even when nothing is configured. The
29//! trifecta gate only fires where an interactive approval policy is installed,
30//! so non-interactive embedders (headless evals) are unaffected by it.
