//! ASR (attack-success-rate) battery for the prompt-injection substrate.
//!
//! A static, model-free measurement of [`crate::security`] against the
//! role-confusion attack classes (arXiv:2603.12277 and the ChatBug /
//! ChatInject / MetaBreak lineage). It answers three questions without any
//! model call, so it can run as a fast gate in CI and be consumed by the Burin
//! meter next to `pass@1`:
//!
//!   * **Detection** — does the active injection classifier flag each malicious
//!     attack? (Under-detection is a potential success.)
//!   * **False positives** — does it stay quiet on the benign controls? A
//!     defense that flags git SHAs or code discussing "system prompt" is
//!     unusable.
//!   * **Special-token containment** — after [`spotlight_wrap`] frames a payload
//!     as data, do reserved chat-template special tokens still survive
//!     un-neutralized in the body? Spotlighting frames but does not neutralize,
//!     so today these survive; this metric is the quantified Phase-1 gap
//!     (token-ID special-token neutralization) and should trend to zero once
//!     that lands.
//!
//! The behavioural tier — actually running an agent turn on a poisoned
//! observation and checking whether the injected directive was followed — needs
//! a model and lives in the Burin eval harness, which consumes this same corpus
//! (`injected_directive` / `success_signal` fields). This module is the
//! deterministic floor.
