+/**
+ * Build the AgentEvent a declared test case describes.
+ *
+ * Extracted from src/cli.ts so scripts/validate-rule-testcases.ts can use the
+ * identical routing without importing the CLI (whose module body runs main()).
+ *
+ * WHY IT HAS TO BE SHARED. The validator used to extract text with its own
+ * chain — `tool_response ?? input ?? content ?? tool_description` — which reads
+ * none of tool_args, tool_name, user_input or agent_output. 194 test cases
+ * across 27 rules name their payload under one of those, so every one resolved
+ * to the empty string, and the two harnesses disagreed about the same rule:
+ * `pga test` passed while the validator reported every true positive as NOT
+ * triggered.
+ *
+ * Both directions were wrong and the quiet one is worse. A true positive scored
+ * empty looks like a broken rule and invites someone to "fix" a rule that
+ * detects fine. A true NEGATIVE scored empty cannot trigger, so it passes — a
+ * rule's declared non-detections confirmed by a harness that never read them.
+ *
+ * One builder, two callers. A second copy drifts the moment either is edited.
