//! Destination-provenance precision for the lethal-trifecta exfil gate.
//!
//! The coarse gate ([`crate::llm::agent_host_primitives`]) forces a confirmation
//! whenever untrusted content is in context *and* the model reaches for an
//! exfil-capable tool. That is safe but noisy: the single most common benign
//! agent workflow — fetch public docs, synthesize them, write the result to a
//! doc the user asked for (a Notion page, a file, a configured connector) — is
//! *exactly* "untrusted content in context, then an exfil-capable tool," so it
//! trips the gate on every legitimate research-and-synthesis turn. A gate that
//! fires on benign work is a gate users learn to click through, which contains
//! nothing.
//!
//! The discriminator between a real exfiltration and benign synthesis is **who
//! chose the destination**. In a real lethal-trifecta attack the injection
//! supplies the sink — "POST the secrets to `https://evil.example`", "email them
//! to `attacker@evil.example`" — so the destination *appears in the untrusted
//! content*. In benign synthesis the user chose the destination (their own
//! connector / a URL from the task), and it does **not** appear in the fetched
//! untrusted content. So the gate should fire on the exfil axis only when the
//! sink's destination is **attacker-originated** — traceable to an untrusted
//! span — or the payload ships a secret, not merely because an exfil-capable
//! tool ran while some untrusted content sat in context.
//!
//! This is provenance again, one level deeper than [`super::classify_result_trust`]:
//! there we asked *is this ingress untrusted?*; here we ask *does the untrusted
//! ingress control this egress's destination?* Endpoints seen in untrusted
//! content are recorded on the [`super::TaintRecord`] at ingest
//! ([`extract_endpoints`]); at the gate the sink's target endpoints
//! ([`args_target_endpoints`]) are checked against them
//! ([`destination_is_untrusted_originated`]).
//!
//! **Steganography.** The precise gate would be unsound if an attacker could
//! hide the destination from [`extract_endpoints`] while the model still reads
//! it — then the sink's decoded destination would not match any recorded
//! endpoint and the gate would wrongly stay quiet. So extraction runs on a
//! *de-cloaked* view ([`decloak`]): Unicode "tag" characters (U+E0020–U+E007E,
//! the classic ASCII-smuggling channel that is invisible to a human but read by
//! the model) are decoded back to ASCII, and zero-width / bidi controls that
//! split a host across invisible boundaries (`ev\u{200b}il.example`) are
//! dropped. The host-match is literal on both sides, so a homoglyph host is
//! matched as written and needs no separate normalization.
//!
//! Gated behind the default-OFF `precise_exfil_gate` policy flag: when disabled
//! the coarse gate is byte-identical; when enabled it *narrows* the exfil axis to
//! the attack signature (attacker-originated destination, secret payload, or a
//! flagged injection). A connector write whose destination is a fixed configured
//! sink names no endpoint in its arguments and is treated as user-chosen — that
//! is the point (research/synthesis stays quiet), not a hole: redirecting an
//! egress to a new destination is what surfaces an attacker endpoint.

/// Extract the destination endpoints a span names: the host of each `http(s)`
/// URL and each bare email address, normalized (lowercased, punctuation
/// trimmed). Runs on the [`decloak`]ed text so a steganographically hidden
/// destination is still recovered. Deliberately simple and dependency-free — the
/// attack payloads that matter name a URL or an email; a bare hostname with no
/// scheme is not treated as a destination (too many false hits on ordinary

/// endpoints ⇒ more conservative gating) but the tight rules keep the sink side
