//! Behavioral ASR (attack-success-rate) tier for the prompt-injection substrate.
//!
//! The static battery ([`super::battery`]) is model-free: it measures whether
//! the classifier flags an attack and whether hygiene neutralizes special
//! tokens / role styling inside the framed body. It cannot answer the question
//! that ultimately decides whether a user is protected: **does a model actually
//! OBEY an injected directive once the poisoned content is framed as untrusted
//! data?** Detection and containment are proxies; obedience is the outcome.
//!
//! This module runs that behavioral probe deterministically. For each malicious
//! case it constructs a *victim turn* — a benign task performed over an
//! untrusted document that carries the attack payload plus a per-case *canary*
//! confirmation directive — frames the document with the canonical
//! [`spotlight_wrap`] under a given [`SecurityMode`], asks a model to respond,
//! and checks one deterministic signal: did the canary token appear in the
//! reply? Canary presence == the injected directive controlled the model == an
//! ASR hit. There is deliberately **no LLM judge to game**: success is a
//! substring match on a token the benign task itself never emits. This is the
//! standard confirmation-token methodology from the prompt-injection benchmark
//! literature, applied to the role-confusion attack classes.
//!
//! Model access is abstracted behind [`BehavioralModel`] so the aggregation and
//! canary logic are unit-tested with a mock (no network in CI). The live
//! baseline — pointing this at `fw-gpt-oss-120b` or a local model through a real
//! [`BehavioralModel`] impl — is run on demand; it is the pre-LoRA number the
//! Phase-4 role-robustness LoRA has to drive down. Because a cheap model's
//! robustness is non-monotonic, this measurement must gate the LoRA release
//! rather than any self-report from the model under test.
