+ * Render safety — the guards every renderer in this package puts between untrusted
+ * text and its own line-structured output.
+ *
+ * These accreted inside `research.ts` (FUL-247, FUL-252) because that is where the
+ * first caller happened to live. FUL-253 then added `safeInline` call sites across
+ * six more modules, which made `research.ts` — the `clien_research` tool contract
+ * plus the shared `apiCall` HTTP client — the import hub for a concern it has
+ * nothing to do with. They live here instead: one module, no dependencies, imported
+ * by every renderer.
+ *
+ * Two of these are named guards rather than open-coded steps precisely because
+ * forgetting one on a new field is silent. `collapseWhitespace` stops a newline in
+ * an untrusted value from FORGING a line of the renderer's own output; the doc
+ * comments below carry the specific instances that were found, the measured digest
+ * cost of `RECEIPT_QUOTE_MAX`, and the trap in `locateSpan` where a case-sensitive
+ * lookup silently re-creates the bug `clipReceiptQuote` exists to fix.
+ *
+ * Behaviour here is pinned from the CONSUMER side — `agent-visible-output.test.ts`
+ * and `render-coverage.test.ts` drive real handlers and assert on the rendered
+ * text — so this module has no tests of its own beyond `clipReceiptQuote`'s
+ * windowing arithmetic in `research.test.ts`.

+ * How much of a source receipt's verbatim quote reaches agent-visible text (FUL-247).
+ *
+ * Lives here, beside `truncate`, because TWO surfaces render receipts —
+ * `renderPersonaProfile` (`get_persona`) and `renderReceiptPools` (`get_report`'s
+ * trust digest) — and they must clip identically. An agent that reads a quote on
+ * one surface and the same quote clipped differently on the other has to wonder
+ * which one is the source's actual wording; neither is, but only a consistent
+ * ellipsis makes that unambiguous.
+ *
+ * FUL-252 made that "identically" structural instead of conventional: both surfaces
+ * now go through `clipReceiptQuote`, which spends this same budget but may WINDOW it
+ * around a verified span. `get_persona` passes no spans — `GET /api/personas/{id}`
+ * carries no claim spine, so no span is knowable there — and gets the head clip. The
+ * asymmetry is in the INPUT, not in two renderers drifting apart, and a windowed
+ * excerpt announces itself with a leading `…` so neither surface can be misread as
+ * the source's opening words.
+ *
+ * 200 chars is roughly two sentences: enough to judge whether a quote supports the
+ * claim pointing at it, short enough that one long forum post cannot crowd out the
+ * other receipts in a pool capped at 40 entries.
+ *
+ * DIGEST COST, stated because a digest an agent truncates is a digest it does not
+ * read. The worst case is BOUNDED BY CONSTRUCTION, not by hope: the persona pool
+ * renders at most `CLAIM_RENDER_CAP` (40) receipts, so quotes can add at most
+ * 40 × (200 + ~6 for the indent, quotes and newline) ≈ 8.4 KB to `get_report`'s
+ * text — measured at +8,360 bytes on a saturated fixture, which is ~14% on the
+ * ~58 KB digest FUL-243 shipped. Raising either constant raises that ceiling
+ * multiplicatively; do the arithmetic before you do.

+ * `Funding: <value> [GROUNDED]`, `   id: <uuid>`. The values interpolated into

+ * new line the reader parses as the renderer's own output. Two real instances,
+ * both found by adversarial review of FUL-247 rather than reasoned about:
+ *
+ *   - a quote containing `\n- RCP-p9-s9 — reddit — https://attacker.example`
+ *     FORGES a receipt-pool entry, so a claim can appear to resolve to a source
+ *     nobody retrieved;
+ *   - a company fact containing `\nHQ: London` renders `Funding: Series B` with
+ *     NO grounding state, and moves the `[NO_RECEIPT]` suffix onto what now
+ *     reads as an HQ line — breaking the one invariant this ticket exists to
+ *     establish, that a fact never appears without its state.
+ *
+ * Collapsing rather than escaping or indenting: these are ≤240-char excerpts
+ * whose internal paragraph structure carries no meaning, and collapsing is the
+ * option a crafted value cannot defeat. `buildEvidencePromptBlock` in the app
+ * (`app/lib/ai/persona-generator.ts`) already applies the same `\s+` collapse to
+ * this same quote field before it reaches a model, so this matches an existing

+/**
+ * Clip a receipt quote to `max` characters, choosing WHICH characters by where the
+ * verified spans actually are (FUL-252).
+ *
+ * ⚠️ THIS IS A TRUST-SURFACE FIX, not a formatting one. A claim is `GROUNDED`
+ * because its `quoteSpan` was found inside the stored quote. FUL-247 rendered the
+ * quote's FIRST `RECEIPT_QUOTE_MAX` characters, so a span sitting past that cutoff
+ * left an agent reading `[GROUNDED]` beside an excerpt that did NOT contain the
+ * sentence which earned the badge. The badge was true and the visible support was
+ * not the support — the trust surface lying, which is the one failure this package
+ * exists to prevent. It shipped deliberately, pinned in
+ * `agent-visible-output.test.ts`, and this function is that pin being paid off.
+ *
+ * What this does NOT change: a receipt is still source + quote, and the budget is
+ * still `max`. Windowing only picks a BETTER `max` characters — same size, same
+ * ellipsis convention, so the two receipt surfaces stay mutually legible.
+ *
+ * ⚠️ WHITESPACE IS COLLAPSED HERE, not assumed to have been collapsed by the
+ * caller — and that redundancy is the point. `collapseWhitespace` is FUL-247's
+ * forgery guard and it runs first in both callers, but it also RESHAPES THE
+ * STRING: every whitespace run becomes one space and the ends are trimmed, so an
+ * offset measured against the raw quote is wrong by however many characters
+ * collapsing removed before it. Handed the raw text, a windowing function would cut
+ * several characters late and clip the span's own head — the original bug wearing a
+ * fix's clothes, and self-consistent enough that the obvious tests still pass.
+ * Collapsing here (idempotent, so the callers' own call stays free) makes that
+ * whole class of mistake unreachable rather than merely documented. Spans get the
+ * same treatment: a span carrying its own line break exists only in the raw text
+ * and would never be located otherwise, silently degrading to the head clip.
+ *
+ * A span that cannot be located steers nothing: the head clip is kept
+ * rather than a window invented around a guess. Same for a quote that fits whole,
+ * and for spans that already survive the head clip — those keep byte-identical
+ * output to FUL-247, so the change is confined to the case that was broken.
+ * Locating matches the VERIFIER's leniency, not JavaScript's `===` — see
+ * `locateSpan`, which is where this fix most easily goes on lying.
+ *
+ * With several spans on one receipt (many claims can share a source) the window is
+ * the one covering the MOST of them, tie-broken to the earliest start so the output
+ * is deterministic. Candidates are drawn from THREE alignments per span (centred,
+ * left, right) because a centred-only search misses clusters that genuinely fit —
+ * the loop below says why. Spans further apart than `max` cannot all be shown
+ * inside one budget; that residue is recorded as a narrower pinned limitation

+ * Where a verified span sits in the collapsed quote — matching the way the span was

+ *
+ * ⚠️ THE VERIFIER IS MORE LENIENT THAN `indexOf`, and that asymmetry is a live way
+ * for this fix to keep lying. `verifySpan` (agent/src/claim-classifier.ts) accepts a
+ * span after `NFC → toLowerCase → collapse whitespace`, and then accepts a FUZZY
+ * match at 0.95 similarity on top of that. A case-sensitive `indexOf` therefore
+ * fails to locate spans the verifier happily grounded — the claim keeps its
+ * `[GROUNDED]` badge, the lookup silently returns "not found", and the excerpt falls
+ * back to the head clip. That is FUL-247's bug surviving inside its own fix, for
+ * exactly the claims the verifier was most generous about. Found by an adversarial
+ * cross-model review, not by the tests.
+ *
+ * Exact match first (the common case, and the only one with unambiguous offsets),
+ * then a case-insensitive retry.
+ *
+ * ⚠️ THE LENGTH GUARD IS A CORRECTNESS CONDITION, not defensiveness. An index into
+ * the normalized string is only an index into `flat` when normalizing moved nothing:
+ * `toLowerCase` can EXPAND a character (`İ` → `i̇`) and NFC can CONTRACT one
+ * (combining marks composing). Neither can do the opposite — lowercase never
+ * contracts, NFC never expands — so equal lengths prove no character moved and the
+ * offsets align exactly. When they differ we take the head clip rather than window
+ * to an offset we cannot trust: a wrong window is worse than a conservative one.
+ *
+ * Fuzzy-only matches (the verifier's 0.95 tier, where no exact substring exists at
+ * any casing) are NOT located here. The alignment DP that could find them lives in
+ * the agent package, which this separately-published package cannot import, and
+ * guessing a window would be inventing evidence. They keep the head clip, which is a
