/// - The Stage-2 candidate-collection list and Stage-4 filtered rows
///   become [`ContextBlock`]s tagged `AskPipelineRow` so the redactor
///   applies the strictest tenant policy.
/// - The user question lands in `user_question` — the injection
///   detector runs over it before render.
/// - A small operator system prompt is pinned inline; it can move to
///   config (`ai.prompt.system`) once a follow-up issue lands.
///
/// The current downstream async prompt adapters take a single `String`;
/// the structured
/// `RenderedPrompt::messages` is flattened by joining each message
/// with a role prefix. When richer drivers land they will consume the
/// `RenderedPrompt` directly.
///
/// Failure mode: when the template rejects the input (e.g. the user
/// question carries an injection signature, or rendered bytes exceed
/// the tier cap), we fall back to the inline minimal formatter so an
/// existing ASK call doesn't suddenly start erroring on a question
/// that previously worked. The rejection is logged so the audit log
/// can capture it without breaking the user's flow.
///
/// FOLLOW-UP: a production `SecretRedactor` location was not
/// identified during Lane 4/5 wiring — the runtime currently uses the
/// `prompt_template::SecretRedactor::new()` defaults, which are the
/// canonical pattern set. If the audit pipeline grows a separate
/// redactor with operator-tunable patterns, swap the constructor here.

/// the real provider call goes through `block_on_ai` and an HTTPS
/// client. To still cover the contract end-to-end, these tests
/// substitute the LLM's role: take canned answer strings (as if a
/// fake provider returned them), pipe them through `parse_citations`
/// + `citations_to_json` + `validation_to_json`, and pin the wire
/// shape that `execute_ask` will set on the `citations` and
/// `validation` columns.
///
/// A real fake-provider harness is tracked in the issue follow-up
/// (#395 — strict validator + retry) which will need to inject
