1//! Prompt injection defense layer
2//!
3//! Detects and blocks/warns about potential prompt injection attacks including:
4//! - System prompt override attempts
5//! - Role confusion attacks
6//! - Tool call JSON injection
7//! - Secret extraction attempts
8//! - Command injection patterns in tool arguments
