1//! Security probe planning + defensive triage — `security.probe.*`.
2//!
3//! Plan-level surface for authorized testing of AI/agent/MCP systems
4//! (0din / OpenAI Safety / Anthropic lanes). Emits *technique plans*
5//! (objective, delivery vector, expected signal, evidence to capture) —
6//! not ready-made payload strings — so the operator keeps human judgment
7//! and the artifact stays a test plan, not an attack kit.
8//!
9//! `security.probe.evaluate` is the defensive half: given a response,
10//! match leak/bypass indicators and triage it (likely_no_issue /
11//! investigate / candidate) before any report is written.
