+/**
+ * @module b.guardMarkdown
+ * @nav    Guards
+ * @title  Guard Markdown
+ *
+ * @intro
+ *   CommonMark validator + sanitizer for user-supplied markdown.
+ *   Refuses raw HTML by default, applies a URL-scheme allowlist on
+ *   inline links / autolinks / images / reference defs, and caps
+ *   image dimensions and structural depth to defang renderer DoS.
+ *   KIND="content" — the gate consumes `ctx.bytes` /
+ *   `ctx.bodyText`.
+ *
+ *   The primitive is a SOURCE-LEVEL gate: it inspects raw markdown
+ *   text BEFORE any downstream renderer (marked / markdown-it /
+ *   commonmark / remark / parsedown) sees it. Source-level
+ *   discipline matters because the most dangerous shapes —
+ *   `__proto__` in JSON, `<script\n>` in markdown — exploit
+ *   specific parser internals; sanitizing on the post-parse tree
+ *   is too late.
+ *
+ *   Threat catalog grounded in current CVE research:
+ *   CVE-2026-30838 (CommonMark DisallowedRawHtml whitespace-tag
+ *   bypass — `<script\n>` / `<script\t>` evades naive `<script>`
+ *   matchers); CVE-2025-9540 (Markup Markdown stored XSS via
+ *   `javascript:` link); CVE-2025-7969 (markdown-it ReDoS class);
+ *   CVE-2025-6493 (CodeMirror Markdown Mode catastrophic
+ *   backtracking); CVE-2025-24981 (MDC autolink XSS);
+ *   CVE-2026-33500 (AVideo Parsedown inlineLink/inlineUrlTag
+ *   bypass); GHSA-gwjh-c548-f787 (NuGetGallery autolink XSS);
+ *   Joplin GHSA-hff8-hjwv-j9q7 (RCE via untrusted markdown link).
+ *
+ *   Profiles: `strict` / `balanced` / `permissive`. Compliance
+ *   postures: `hipaa` / `pci-dss` / `gdpr` / `soc2`.
