// Bundle-3 / CWE-1039 / Audit findings H-002, H-003, M-003, M-004, M-005:
//
// These regression tests plant adversarial "prompt injection" payloads
// into each of the 5 attacker-controllable field categories the audit
// flagged, push them through the MCP wrapper layer (textResult /
// errorResult), and assert two invariants:
//
//  1. The injection payload is preserved verbatim — we do NOT strip or
//     sanitize untrusted text. Removing it would defeat operator
//     visibility (the operator needs to see what was attempted).
//
//  2. The injection payload appears INSIDE the untrusted-data fence
//     delimiters, so an LLM consumer that fences untrusted data
//     correctly will see the attack as data, not instructions.
//
// The wrapper-layer fencing in textResult/errorResult covers all 87 MCP
// tools today and any future tool that uses the same wrappers. These
// tests pin the contract.

// classicInjections is the set of injection payloads tried against every
// field category. They mirror real-world LLM jailbreak attempts —
// instruction-override, role-confusion, exfiltration prompts, etc.
