/**
 * Codebase-wide prompt injection scan
 *
 * This test suite scans all files that become part of LLM agent context
 * (agents, workflows, commands, planning templates) for prompt injection patterns.
 * Run as part of CI to catch injection attempts in PRs before they merge.
 *
 * What this catches:
 *   - Instruction override attempts ("ignore previous instructions")
 *   - Role manipulation ("you are now a...")
 *   - System prompt extraction ("reveal your prompt")
 *   - Fake system/assistant/user boundaries (<system>, [INST], etc.)
 *   - Invisible Unicode that could hide instructions
 *   - Exfiltration attempts (curl/fetch to external URLs)
 *
 * What this does NOT catch:
 *   - Subtle semantic manipulation (requires human review)
 *   - Novel injection techniques not in the pattern list
 *   - Injection via legitimate-looking documentation
 *
 * False positives: Files that legitimately discuss prompt injection (like
 * security documentation) may trigger warnings. The allowlist below
 * exempts known-good files from specific patterns.
