detectors.py: Failure judges.
A detector answers one question: *given the probe and the model's response, did
the model fail?* Each returns a :class:`DetectionResult` carrying the boolean
verdict and, when failed, the exact evidence string that gets surfaced in the
report (so every finding is traceable to a concrete observation, never a vibe).
Detectors are registered by name in :data:`DETECTORS` and referenced from the
YAML probe packs via the ``detector:`` key. This indirection is what keeps the
probe data fully declarative and the battery extensible without touching the
engine: add a probe pointing at an existing detector, or add a detector here and
reference it from YAML.
Design choices:
* Detectors are pure functions of ``(probe, response)``, no I/O, no state,
which makes them trivially unit-testable against known-good/known-bad pairs.
* We bias toward *evidence-bearing* signals (leaked canaries, compliance
phrases) over broad keyword soups to keep false positives low; the
canary/secret detectors in particular are exact-match and effectively
false-positive-free.
