| """Input guard — screens a user message for prompt-injection / secret-extraction / |
| 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. |
