"""Prompt-injection defence.

The spec asks for three adversarial tests. This file carries considerably more, because
the interesting property is not "one known attack is blocked" but "the whole published
taxonomy is blocked AND ordinary legal questions are not". A screen that rejects genuine
questions is not a safer system, it is a broken one.
