-Production response guardrail pattern.
+app/nodes/guardrails.py — CHECKPOINT 8: Guardrails
 
-Safety node checks INTENT (query).
-Guardrails checks OUTPUT (response).
+Final backstop — checks the LLM's response for harmful output.
+Safety node handles query intent. Guardrails handles response content.
 
-They solve different problems:
-  Safety   → "did the user ask for something harmful?"
-  Guardrail → "did the LLM accidentally produce harmful output?"
-
-This uses the same Constitutional AI approach — LLM judges LLM output.
-Pattern used by: OpenAI moderation pipeline, Anthropic's output filters.
-
-Only runs LLM check if response is long enough to contain harmful instructions.
-Short responses (jokes, greetings, simple answers) skip the LLM check entirely.
+Stricter than before — flags self-defense instructions targeting body parts,
+detailed fight techniques, and similar content that safety node may have missed.
