envelope.rs

1//! Structural anti-injection envelope (design module `envelope.rs`, LD15).
2//!
3//! Per /what-if finding #15 (Critical), the wrapper that frames operator/peer
4//! input on its way to a PTY-managed model's stdin MUST be **unforgeable by
5//! user content**. A naive `[from: name]\n` prefix is rejected: a message
6//! containing `\n[from: privileged]\n...` would impersonate a trusted sender.
7//!
8//! The unforgeability here rests on JSON string escaping, not on a secret
9//! delimiter. The user message is carried as a JSON-encoded string value, so
10//! the quote / newline / control bytes that could terminate the envelope early
11//! are escaped by construction (`serde_json` never emits a raw `"` or newline
12//! inside a string). There is exactly one envelope object per wrapped input;
13//! any marker-looking or brace-looking bytes in user content stay inside the
14//! `msg` field and are delivered as content, never parsed as a second envelope.
15//!
16//! Envelopes are stateless in production (zero-sized types). The
17//! `Box<dyn Envelope>` indirection exists for testability (fake envelopes in
18//! fixtures), per LD15.
