//! Write-time security scan for agent notes (Step 19.2, #248).
//!
//! NOTES.md entries are injected **verbatim into the system prompt** every
//! session ([`crate::notes::NoteStore::system_prompt_block`]). A poisoned
//! note is therefore a persistent prompt injection: it survives restarts,
//! outlives the conversation that wrote it, and is replayed at the highest
//! trust level the model has. Following hermes-agent's `_scan_memory_content`
//! (memory_tool.py:67-104 — "Memory entries are injected into the system
//! prompt and must not contain injection or exfiltration payloads"), every
//! write path runs [`scan_note`] **before** persistence and rejects the
//! write outright — there is no quarantine, no sanitize-and-save, and
//! deliberately no allow-list/bypass flag.
//!
//! Two checks, in order:
//!
//! 1. **Invisible / control unicode** — zero-width characters, bidi
//!    override/isolate controls, Unicode tag characters ("ASCII smuggling"),
//!    and other Cc/Cf controls except `\n` and `\t`. These can hide text
//!    from the human reviewing `/memory` output while remaining fully
//!    visible to the model. Running this check FIRST also means zero-width
//!    characters cannot be used to split a phrase past the regex table
//!    below. The error names the offending codepoint.
//!
//! 2. **Injection / exfiltration patterns** — the short table in
//!    [`PATTERN_TABLE`] plus the `curl`/`wget`-to-remote-URL check. This is
//!    defense-in-depth for a string that ends up in the system prompt, not
//!    a WAF: homoglyph swaps, novel phrasings, and scheme-less URLs are out
//!    of scope by design. The cap-is-the-curator budget, the visible
//!    "Noted:" echo in the TUI, and the human owning NOTES.md are the other
//!    layers.
//!
//! ## Documented boundaries (tested as false-positive cases)
//!
//! Benign near-misses that PASS: "the system prompt concept" (role-header
//! rule is line-anchored), "use curl to test the API" (curl rule requires a
//! URL), `curl http://localhost:11434/...` (loopback/private/`.lan`-style
//! hosts are local), `[docs](https://docs.rs/regex)` (link rule requires a
//! query string with brace/secret-ish params), "### Instructions for
//! deploying" (Alpaca-header rule matches header-only lines). Accepted
//! collateral that FAILS: ZWJ emoji sequences (family/profession emoji —
//! ZWJ is a primary smuggling vector; plain emoji pass), a note explaining
//! literal `[INST]` markers, and `\r` line endings (only `\n`/`\t` controls
//! are allowed).
