//! Input sanitization for LLM prompts.
//!
//! Neutralizes known prompt injection patterns while preserving legitimate
//! semantic content. The approach escapes or removes delimiter tokens and
//! override instructions that could hijack the LLM's behavior.
//!
//! # Security properties
//!
//! - **Panic-safe**: all substring indexing uses `.get()` rather than `[]`.
//! - **All-patterns**: every injection phrase per line is neutralized, not just
//!   the first one found.
//! - **Homoglyph-resistant**: content is NFKD-normalized before pattern matching
//!   so Cyrillic look-alikes and other confusable characters do not bypass checks.

/// Return a NFKD-normalized, lowercased version of `s` for pattern matching.
///
/// NFKD decomposition collapses compatibility equivalents (e.g., ℌ → H,

/// comparison reliably catches homoglyph-based injection attempts.

    // strings we encounter, `to_lowercase()` on each char after stripping
    // modifier categories gives good-enough coverage.
