quarantine.rs

1//! Quarantine framing and delimiter neutralization for untrusted tool outputs.
2//!
3//! Provides idempotent XML boundary wrapping (`<tool_output_quarantine>`) and
4//! control-token neutralization so untrusted tool responses cannot inject `ChatML`,
5//! Harmony, Llama, or `DeepSeek` turn/tool delimiters into the model's token stream.
