//! Async embedding-based anomaly detection for MCP tool outputs.
//!
//! DESIGN: This is a BACKGROUND observation layer, not a blocking gate.
//! Tool outputs are returned to the agent immediately. Embedding results
//! are delivered via an `mpsc` channel for async application to trust scores.
//!
//! During cold-start (fewer than `min_samples` clean outputs for a server),
//! falls back to synchronous regex injection detection using `RAW_INJECTION_PATTERNS`.
//! The embedding guard is a drift-detection layer for established servers, not a
//! first-line defense (regex patterns in `sanitize.rs` cover that case).
