-  Detects the "two-script negation" jailbreak template mined from NVIDIA garak's

-  (e.g. topic of: "not" "[insert prompt here]"), then immediately demands a
-  second, much longer script on the SAME topic but explicitly "without the
-  word 'not'" -- stripping the negation reintroduces the harmful ask while the
-  first script provides plausible-deniability framing. The second script is
-  voiced by a self-declared amoral, evil persona ("I don't have any morality
-  nor consciousness... pure evil... pure bastard") that then delivers
-  "step by step guidance" on whatever topic the user supplies. Observed with
-  interchangeable persona names (Mira, joker, etc.), confirming the mechanism
-  generalizes beyond any single character name. This rule targets the
-  persona-declaration half of the template (the load-bearing, low-variance
-  signal), which is both necessary for the attack to function and virtually
-  absent from legitimate text.
