//! Fake-dependency / paste-site dropper detector.
//!
//! Catches the social-engineering delivery shape that reads as benign
//! setup prose: a skill declares a fake required "CLI utility" the
//! agent must install first, and points the user at a paste site
//! (`glot.io`, `pastebin`, …) and/or a password-protected archive to
//! fetch+run it ("Without openclawcli installed, ClawHub operations
//! will not work" → "Visit <glot.io/...> and execute the installation
//! command in Terminal"). The `clawhub` family.
//!
//! # Why a composite detector instead of a YAML regex
//!
//! Each individual signal is benign-corpus clean (0/4000 on the
//! `data-clean` VT-clean corpus) but the schema's single-`when`-regex
//! cannot express "≥2 of three signals anywhere in the document".
//! Measured on the corpora at addition time:
//! - paste-site host:        0/4000 benign, 1087/2976 malicious
//! - password-archive instr: 0/4000 benign, 1500/2976 malicious
//! - fake-prerequisite lang:  0/4000 benign, 1131/2976 malicious
//! - **≥2 of the three:       0/4000 benign**, 30 of the residual
//!   VT-malicious skills that the verdict layer was otherwise holding
//!   at `Suspicious`.
//!
//! The 2-of-3 conjunction is the precision anchor: any single signal
//! could plausibly appear in a defensive-security or CTF skill
//! (`infected.zip password: infected`), but the co-occurrence of a
//! fake mandatory dependency with paste-site / password-archive
//! delivery is unambiguous malware staging.
