-Two layers of protection on every response:
-1. Faithfulness check: NLI model verifies response is entailed by retrieved context.
-2. Boundary enforcement: Regex + semantic check for off-topic/jailbreak content.
+Three layers of protection on every chat turn:
+1. Input sanitization — strip control chars, delimiter injection, obfuscation.
+2. Input boundary check — jailbreak / piracy / off-topic patterns (regex + heuristics).
+3. Output safety check — block system-prompt leaks, identity reveals, instruction echo.
 
-RULE: Both checks run on EVERY chatbot response — never skip.
-RULE: On failure: attempt regeneration → if fails again → return safe fallback.
+RULE: Sanitize BEFORE any LLM call.
+RULE: check_boundary runs on EVERY user message — never skip.
+RULE: is_response_safe runs on EVERY generated response — never skip.
