"""
Intelligent prompt firewall for injection detection and policy enforcement.

This module implements a multi-layer firewall that detects malicious prompt
patterns including jailbreak attempts, prompt injection, data exfiltration,
and privilege escalation attacks using both regex-based and semantic methods.

Mathematical Foundations
------------------------
1. Regex Pattern Matching:
    For pattern set P and input text T of length n:
        Time: O(n · Σ|pᵢ|) with optimized regex engine
        Space: O(Σ|pᵢ|) for compiled pattern storage
    Reference: Cox, "Regular Expression Matching Can Be Simple And Fast" [1]

2. Semantic Similarity for Attack Detection:
    Given attack corpus embeddings A = {a₁, ..., aₖ} ∈ ℝᵏˣᵈ and query q ∈ ℝᵈ:
        max_sim = maxᵢ cos(q, aᵢ) = maxᵢ (q · aᵢ) / (||q||₂ · ||aᵢ||₂)
    Threshold τ_sim = 0.85: flag if max_sim ≥ τ_sim
    Reference: Reimers & Gurevych, "Sentence-BERT", EMNLP 2019 [2]

3. Action Priority Resolution:
    When multiple rules match, select most restrictive action:
        BLOCK > REWRITE > ALERT > ALLOW
    Ensures defense-in-depth with strictest policy applied.

Attack Taxonomy (MITRE ATLAS [3])
---------------------------------
- T0001: Prompt Injection (ignore_previous, system_prompt_dump)
- T0002: Privilege Escalation (act_as_admin)
- T0003: Data Exfiltration (data_exfiltration, token_leak)
- T0004: Input Manipulation (sql_injection)

Performance Characteristics
---------------------------
- check_prompt() regex-only: O(n · |P|) where n=prompt length, |P|=rule count
- check_prompt() with semantic: O(n·|P| + k·d) where k=corpus size, d=embedding_dim
- Typical latency: <1ms (regex), 10-30ms (with semantic on CPU)
- Memory: O(|P|·m + k·d) for compiled patterns + corpus embeddings

class PromptFirewall:
    """
    Intelligent firewall for detecting and mitigating prompt injection attacks.

    This class implements a two-layer detection system:
    1. Regex-based pattern matching for known attack signatures (fast, deterministic)
    2. Semantic similarity matching for paraphrased/obfuscated attacks (optional)

    Key Features
    ------------
    - Configurable rule sets via constructor or runtime update
    - Action priority resolution for conflicting rule matches
    - Optional semantic detection using embedding similarity
    - Runtime statistics for monitoring and alerting
    - Thread-safe design: no shared mutable state after initialization

    Usage Example
    -------------
    >>> firewall = PromptFirewall(
    ...     regex_rules=CUSTOM_RULES,
    ...     semantic_config={"enabled": True, "model": "all-MiniLM-L6-v2"}
    ... )
    >>> action, violations = firewall.check_prompt(user_input)
    >>> if action == FirewallAction.BLOCK:
    ...     raise SecurityError(f"Blocked: {[v['rule'] for v in violations]}")
