//! Rendering of untrusted [`ContextBlock`]s into the user turn.
//!
//! This is the security core of the context channel: a block's `body` is
//! attacker-influenceable (a database comment, a shared contract, a table name), so
//! it must reach the model as quoted, labelled data — never as policy in the system
//! message. [`render_context`] places blocks in the user turn, and
//! [`escape_block_text`] guarantees a `body` cannot forge the closing delimiter and
//! break out of its wrapper.

/// legitimate claim is expected to contain, and one we neutralise inside `body`

/// The fixed closing sentinel for a context block. Breakout is via this sentinel:
/// a `body` containing it would otherwise end the block early and read as trusted
/// prose. [`escape_block_text`] guarantees the rendered output never contains this
/// exact substring except the one we write.

/// Neutralises the context delimiters inside untrusted text so a `body` (or `label`)
/// that contains them cannot break out of its wrapper.
///
/// The scheme is **insert-the-escape-character-inside-the-sentinel**, with the escape
/// character itself doubled first:
///
/// 1. Every `\` becomes `\\`. A body cannot use a backslash to cancel our escape,
///    because any backslash it places is itself doubled before we insert ours.
/// 2. Each sentinel occurrence (`<<<CONTEXT_BLOCK_BEGIN>>>` / `<<<CONTEXT_BLOCK_END>>>`)
///    is rewritten `<<<` + `\` + rest, e.g. the closing sentinel becomes
///    `<<<\CONTEXT_BLOCK_END>>>`.
///
/// Why a body that *knows the scheme* still cannot defeat it: the only thing that can
/// end the block early is the exact string `<<<CONTEXT_BLOCK_END>>>` appearing in the
/// rendered output. After step 2 every such occurrence the body contained now has a `\`
/// at the position where the `C` was, so the exact sentinel is no longer a substring —
/// it has been *transformed*, not merely searched for. Because the transformation is
/// applied to the body's bytes before they are placed in the wrapper, the body cannot
/// "win" by predicting the delimiter: it is fixed and public, but every copy of it the
/// body emits is broken up by construction. The escape character cannot be smuggled into
/// the sentinel's position either (step 1 doubles it), so there is no sequence of body
/// bytes that renders to an unescaped sentinel. Equivalently: counting the exact string
/// `<<<CONTEXT_BLOCK_END>>>` in the rendered output counts exactly the delimiters we
/// wrote — one per block — which is the property the tests assert.
///
/// This is reversible (undo step 2, then un-double backslashes), but the model need not
/// reverse it: it reads the block as data, and the structural guarantee — exactly the
/// delimiters we wrote — is what matters.
