abuse BEFORE it reaches the intent router.
This is the deliberate input-filtering layer the chat pipeline previously lacked:
until now the only jailbreak defense was Azure OpenAI's built-in content filter,
which fires inconsistently across phrasings. The guard runs one cheap, constrained
LLM classification (prompt: `config/prompts/input_guard.md`) and returns a verdict.
Design contract:
- **Fail-open on guard error.** If the classifier call itself errors or times out,
`screen` returns ALLOW — a guard *outage* must never take chat down. A positive
*detection* still blocks; only an infrastructure error falls open.
- **Content-filter = block.** If the guard's own model call trips Azure's content
filter (the malicious text reaching the model), that is treated as a positive
detection (BLOCK), not an outage — the attacker's message tripped a real filter.
- **Swappable backend.** The public seam is `InputGuard.screen(message) -> GuardVerdict`.
The default backend is a local Azure GPT-4o classifier; it can be replaced by
Azure Prompt Shields (or any detector) without touching the call site in
`ChatHandler`. Inject a fake `chain` in tests.
Scope split (intentional): the guard flags *malicious intent* only. Off-topic /
out-of-scope-but-benign requests are `safe` here and are refused later by the
router's `out_of_scope` intent — so each layer has one job.
