4//! Tool executor that loads a full skill body by name, gated by the same trust-aware pipeline
5//! as `invoke_skill`.
6//!
7//! [`SkillLoaderExecutor`] implements `load_skill` — a native tool the LLM can call to preview a
8//! skill's full body without committing to follow it (unlike `invoke_skill`, which carries
9//! intent-to-apply semantics). Both tools share a
10//! `SkillTrustGate` (crate-private) built from the same
11//! `trust_snapshot` `Arc`, so they observe identical trust state within a turn:
12//! - Non-Trusted bodies pass through [`sanitize_skill_text`](zeph_skills::prompt::sanitize_skill_text).
13//! - Quarantined bodies are additionally wrapped with [`wrap_quarantined`](zeph_skills::prompt::wrap_quarantined).
14//! - Blocked skills are refused before any body read.
15//! - `skill_name` is sanitized before it appears in any output path (found, blocked, not-found).
16//!
17//! `load_skill` and `invoke_skill` are both listed in `QUARANTINE_DENIED`, so when a Quarantined
18//! skill is active the trust gate refuses both before this executor is reached.
