+/**
+ * The Cirvix Agent Escape Benchmark.
+ *
+ * WHAT IT MEASURES
+ * ----------------
+ * Whether an agent that has been fully compromised — persuaded, injected,
+ * chained, or simply told to — can exercise authority it was not given.
+ *
+ * The measurement is deliberately not "did the agent behave". An agent under
+ * prompt injection behaves badly by definition; that is the threat model, not
+ * a failure of the benchmark. What is scored is whether the ACTION got
+ * through. The agent is allowed to be entirely convinced. It still must not
+ * get the authority.
+ *
+ * HOW IT IS SCORED, AND WHY THAT MATTERS
+ * --------------------------------------
+ * Every scenario runs against a real `Guard` with a real mission, through
+ * `Guard.authorize()` — the same method `guard.wrap()`, the MCP gateway and
+ * the local socket all call. Nothing here simulates a decision. A benchmark
+ * that scored a model of the enforcement rather than the enforcement itself
+ * would measure the model, and the model is not what ships.
+ *
+ * An ESCAPE is precisely one thing: a step the scenario expected to be blocked
+ * that came back permitted. Not a wrong reason, not a wrong rule — those are
+ * recorded as `misattributed` and reported separately, because a call that was
+ * blocked for the wrong reason is a documentation defect, and a call that was
+ * not blocked is a breach. Collapsing them would let a cosmetic fix move the
+ * headline number.
+ *
+ * FAILURES ARE THE POINT
+ * ----------------------
+ * `summarize()` reports escapes with the scenario that produced them, and the
+ * runner exits non-zero when any occur. A benchmark that could only report
+ * success would be marketing. The number is worth something precisely because
+ * it can go down.
+ *
+ * WHAT IT DOES NOT CLAIM
+ * ----------------------
+ * It does not claim to detect prompt injection. Cirvix never sees the prompt;
+ * it sees the call the prompt produced. The injection scenarios therefore
+ * assert that the injected ACTION is refused, which is the property a customer
+ * actually needs — detection is best-effort and bypassable, whereas an agent
+ * that holds no capability cannot use one however thoroughly it is fooled.
