//! Semantic (embedding-similarity) pre-check for prompt-injection attempts //! that dodge the regexes in `patterns.rs` by paraphrasing -- e.g. //! "disregard everything you were told before this line" instead of //! "ignore previous instructions". //! //! This layer never blocks by itself: cosine similarity to a handful of //! seed examples is too noisy a signal to refuse a customer on (plenty of //! benign messages score close to an injection example without being one). //!
