- *  back is not what makes a model treat the bytes in front of it as data). It costs ≈50 tokens per text

- *  the notebook projection. PDF text extraction returns through its own result builder and has never
- *  carried it, so extracted PDF text reaches the model without this mitigation whatever the switch says.
- *  That gap predates the switch; its IMPERSONATION half is closed — the PDF text legs carry the same
- *  detect-and-disclose trailer as this lane (reminder-shaped bytes in extracted PDF text are disclosed
- *  at the outlet, fs-pdf.ts), and their bodies are fenced. The CYBER half (this malware-alertness
- *  sentence) still does not ride PDF text and stays an open item rather than closed silently —
- *  widening it to a third surface is a change to what every PDF read costs, not a wiring fix.
- *
