1//! Fencing for text that other people wrote.
2//!
3//! Issue descriptions, comments and Wiki pages are the one part of a response
4//! that an outsider fully controls, which makes them the injection surface an
5//! agent actually faces (`docs/adr/0001-security-model.md`). We do not try to
6//! sanitise that text — rewriting someone's issue would be worse than useless.
7//! We label its boundaries so the reader, human or model, can tell content from
8//! instruction.
