1//! Output sanitizer: detects and cleans degenerate model artifacts from compressed output.
2//!
3//! Catches repeated-symbol floods and CJK+garbage combinations that downstream
4//! summarizer models can produce when they fail to parse dense symbolic/compressed
5//! input (see GitHub #257).
6//!
7//! IMPORTANT: Legitimate mixed CJK/English content (multilingual docs, paths with
8//! CJK filenames, status messages) must NOT be dropped (see GitHub #323).
