"""
RecRedTeam-ASI-Bench dataset builder.
Generates a deterministic, fully synthetic red-team benchmark for LLM / agentic
recommendation & shopping assistants.
Outputs:
data/taxonomy.jsonl 9 threat categories + OWASP ASI 2026 / LLM Top-10 mapping
data/attacks.jsonl adversarial cases (seeded from RecRedTeam + templated variants)
Everything is synthetic: no real user data, no real product listings, no real
brand. Attack payloads target a *simulated* shopping environment only.
Usage:
python scripts/build_dataset.py [--out-dir data] [--per-category 30] [--seed 2026]
