+2. **`validateAgentOutput`** (from `src/pipeline/promptGuard.ts`) — runs `INJECTION_PATTERNS` plus boundary-marker forgery detection on the persisted text; closes the CD with D6-F2 (boundary-marker tampering).
+3. **`sanitizeUserContent`** quarantine — /learn content is user-tier per `agents/shared/injection-patterns.md` §B; a `blocked: true` result rejects the file rather than silently substituting `[SANITIZED]` placeholders.
+4. **In-memory checksum verification** — the function recomputes `SHA-256(body)` and, when `expectedIntegrity` is supplied (from the Integrity Hash Generation step above), refuses to write on any mismatch. This closes the in-memory tamper window between content extraction (Step 2) and file write (Step 3).

 # Project Spec — Greenfield Project Specification from Vision to Docs
 
 Take a project idea or vision and produce complete project documentation across **two dimensions**: business strategy and technical architecture. Spawns parallel researcher sub-agents (stack, features, architecture, pitfalls, UX, business model & market, production & scale) to analyze the vision from every angle before generating artifacts. Outputs business specs to `docs/specs/business/` (business model, competitive analysis, GTM strategy, production blueprint), technical specs to `docs/specs/technical/` (glossary, overview, per-module specs), ADRs to `docs/adr/`, and a `todo.md` ready for `hatch3r-board-fill`. Optionally generates a root-level `AGENTS.md` as the project's "README for agents." AI proposes all outputs; user confirms before any files are written.
