//! Post-LLM response verification for prompt injection detection.
//!
//! Scans LLM responses *before* tool dispatch to detect cases where the model
//! may have been influenced by injected instructions in its context.
//!
//! This is the third layer of Zeph's defense-in-depth pipeline:
//! 1. Input sanitization: [`ContentSanitizer`] scans untrusted content before context insertion.
//! 2. Pre-execution verification: `PreExecutionVerifier` audits tool calls before execution.
//! 3. Response verification (this module): scans LLM output for echoed injection patterns.
