//! Untrusted-content wrapping (scoped FR-14, #1042): mark a remote MCP tool's
//! result as DATA, not instructions, before it re-enters context.
//!
//! An MCP server's response — a `modulex` report, a wiki page, a ticket body —
//! is written by whatever produced the underlying data, not by the operator or
//! the model. A corrupted or adversarial record could smuggle a
//! "ignore previous instructions" payload into context, indistinguishable from
//! a real instruction once it's just more text in the transcript. Wrapping it
//! in an explicit tag with an injection-guard note gives the model a
//! structural signal to reason about the content without treating it as
//! directives — the same shape [`crate::agentic::scratchpad_state_block`]
//! (`<state>...</state>`) and `<plan>` already use for structured context
//! blocks in this codebase.
//!
//! This is a narrow slice of the coaching-persona RFC's full FR-14 (issue
//! #1042) — the browser-open URL-domain allowlist half is a separate,
//! unrelated concern and is not implemented here.

/// Wrap `body` (a remote MCP tool's result) as explicitly untrusted data
/// attributed to `source` (e.g. a namespaced `server__tool` name), with a
/// short injection-guard note. `source` is not escaped — callers pass a
/// tool/server name, never raw external content, into that parameter.
