+ * or a read file into an LLM prompt did it by hand, or did not do it at all.
+ * ADR-127 names that shape exactly — a prose rule with no check at the
+ * enforcement point is a promised check that may not run.
+ *
+ * This module does not make injection impossible. Nothing at this layer can:
+ * the model still reads the payload, and a sufficiently persuasive payload can
+ * still persuade. What it does is make the boundary EXPLICIT and UNFORGEABLE by
+ * the payload — the delimiter carries a per-call nonce, so text inside the
