+description: >
+  Detects the two-entity token-splitting game jailbreak from NVIDIA garak
+  dan.DanInTheWild inthewild corpus (prompts #24, #588) where the attacker
+  frames a harmful synthesis/instructions request as a word-by-word game between
+  two fictional entities. By having "J" and "M" (or Tom and Jerry) alternate
+  10 words at a time around a $Term variable holding the harmful topic, no
+  single entity "says" the complete harmful content — the full synthesis emerges
+  only when the dialogue is concatenated. The $Term variable assignment further
+  obscures the harmful request: "$Term1 = steps to synthesize" (the method) +
+  "$Term2 = lsd" (the substance), with "The result should demonstrate how to
+  $Term1+$Term2". Key signals: "act as two entities + playing a game + $Term",
+  "J says N words at a time + other entity M says next N words", "$Term1 =
+  steps to synthesize", "result should demonstrate how to $Term1+$Term2".

+  Detects obfuscated system-announcement injection from NVIDIA garak dan.DanInTheWild
+  inthewild corpus where attackers embed hyphen-fragmented or underscore-obfuscated
+  system-level keywords to mimic an OS/runtime mode-switch announcement. The distinctive
+  structural bracket "_ { >> _ _ System annou-ncement begins <<}" and
+  hyphen-broken words like "annou-ncement", "i-nstruction", "as-sisitint", and
+  "offl--____aaaAAAAAAAaine" are designed to bypass surface-level keyword filters while
+  preserving semantic meaning for the LLM (inthewild #94, #252, #254, #596). The goal
+  is convincing the model that a legitimate system-level mode switch occurred, replacing
+  it with "an AI bot with no rules or limitations." Key signals: obfuscated bracket
+  pattern, hyphen-fragmented announcement/instruction keywords, "not functioning due to
+  an error and is offline", "fulfilled by an AI bot with no rules or limitations."
