+ * Hallucination detection — rewritten v0.5.0, moved here from the relevance
+ * bundle in the same change.
+ *
+ * The previous incarnation matched 17 refusal-boilerplate phrases ("as an
+ * AI", "I cannot provide", "I apologize"). Measured against a 90-case gold
+ * corpus of realistic agent hallucinations it fired on exactly zero of them:
+ * real hallucinations are CONFIDENT fabrications, and no competent agent
+ * output — hallucinated or clean — contains refusal boilerplate. Refusal
+ * detection is a different concern from hallucination detection and is
+ * deliberately no longer part of this rule.
+ *
+ * The rewrite is context-grounded: when the caller passes `input` (the
+ * user's ask plus whatever source material the agent was given), the rule
+ * cross-checks the output's specific claims against that text. Signals:
+ *
+ *   - Fabricated citations/attributions: numbers, quotes, section numbers,
+ *     or severity words the output explicitly attributes to "the report" /
+ *     "the docs" / "section N.N" that appear nowhere in the provided input.
+ *   - Contradiction with the input: boolean config flips, table/CSV rows
+ *     bound to another row's number, times, dates, weekday-vs-date errors,
+ *     cron-frequency misreads, ms-vs-seconds unit misreads, empty result
+ *     sets described as findings, failures reported as successes,
+ *     "may … up to N" strengthened to "will … N", inclusive thresholds
+ *     flipped to exclusive, versions/CLI flags absent from the material.
+ *   - Self-inconsistency (context-free): asserted totals that contradict
+ *     their own listed addends, and the v0.3.1 fabricated-citation shape
+ *     (3+ numbered citations + 2+ expert markers).
+ *
+ * Where no input is provided the context-grounded signals stay silent
+ * rather than guess — hedged-but-wrong output is NOT deterministically
+ * detectable without something to compare against.
+ *
+ * Honest limits (string-level heuristics; no LLM): claims that are wrong
+ * about code SEMANTICS (a `min()` clamp, a return type), wrong entity or
+ * speaker attribution when both values genuinely appear in the input,
+ * wrong trend direction read from a table, wrong intent summaries, and
+ * cross-row reasoning (compatibility matrices) remain out of reach and are
+ * the LLM-judge's job (evaluate_with_llm_judge, `accuracy` template).
+ *
+ * ReDoS notes (same law as PII_PATTERNS above): every variable-width gap in
+ * a pattern is bounded ({0,N}), character classes exclude their terminators,
+ * all dynamic RegExp inputs are escaped before interpolation, and
+ * line-shaped inputs (table/CSV rows) are trimmed and parsed by splitting on
+ * their delimiter — never by regexing the whole line with ambiguous
+ * quantifiers. The first cut of the table parser broke that law
+ * (/^\s*\|\s*([^|]+?)\s*\|(.+)\|?\s*$/): greedy \s* overlapping lazy [^|]+?
+ * over a run of spaces was super-quadratic (~7.5× per input doubling; one
+ * 16KB '|'-plus-spaces line would hold the event loop for minutes).
+ *
+ * False-positive law (calibrated 2026-08-11 against an out-of-sample set of
+ * honest agent outputs): an agent INTRODUCING a new value — opening a new PR
+ * number, proposing a meeting time or reminder date, recommending a newer
+ * version, deriving a percentage, reporting the state after its own fix — is
+ * doing normal work, not contradicting a bound source value. Each grounded
+ * signal below therefore fires only on claims ABOUT the provided material,
+ * and stays silent on proposals, recommendations, derivations, and
+ * post-remediation reports.
