- * Agent Shield -- Adversarial Self-Training (v8)
+ * Agent Shield — Adversarial Self-Training Loop (L5)
  *
- * Uses the evolution simulator to generate attack variants, tests them
- * against the current detection engine, and learns from evasive attacks
- * to strengthen defenses automatically.
+ * Continuously attacks its own detection pipeline, discovers bypasses,
+ * and hardens automatically. The model gets harder to beat every cycle
+ * without human intervention.
  *
- * All detection runs locally. No data ever leaves your environment.
+ * 12 mutation strategies: synonym replacement, sentence restructuring,
+ * language translation, leetspeak, token splitting, context wrapping,
+ * authority framing, encoding chains, semantic paraphrasing, multi-turn
+ * decomposition, format shifting, negation inversion.
+ *
+ * All processing runs locally — no data ever leaves your environment.
