harn-vm 0.9.5

//! 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? The Phase-1 hygiene passes
//!     ([`super::neutralize_special_tokens`], [`super::destyle_untrusted`]) now
//!     neutralize them inside the frame, so `special_token_survival_rate` is 0
//!     under the default posture; the `..._unhardened` counterpart pins the
//!     framing-only baseline (still 1.0) so the delta stays visible.
//!   * **Role-style containment** — do forged turn labels (`User:` prefixes) and
//!     `<think>` reasoning tags survive destyling? `role_style_survival_rate`
//!     trends to zero for the tagged/prefixed attacks; untagged natural-language
//!     reasoning is the residual the neural tier / behavioural eval covers.
//!
//! 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.

// --- Containment tier (lethal-trifecta gate) --------------------------------
//
// Detection (above) asks whether the classifier *flags* an attack. Containment
// asks the product question the moat rests on: even if the model is fully
// obeyed, can the attack reach an exfiltration sink without confirmation? The
// lethal-trifecta gate forces an interactive `ask` when untrusted content is in
// context and an exfil-capable tool then runs — so an attack is *contained* iff
// its ingress registers taint (arming the gate). This tier drives the whole
// malicious corpus through the SAME trust classification the live agent loop
// uses (`agent_session_host::finalize_dispatch`), model-free and deterministic,
// so the gate's real coverage is measurable in CI next to detection.

/// How the live loop tags a tool result's trust depends on the *ingress* that
/// produced it, not on the attack text. This maps each corpus `surface` to the
/// executor provenance + tool annotations the runtime would see, so containment
/// is measured through the runtime's own `classify_result_trust` rather than a
