+//
+// WHY (2026-07-18, ADR-0021). Every gate hand-rolled a bash regex to pull fields out of the JSON
+// payload: field() { local re="\"$1\"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*\"([^\"]*)\""; ... }. `([^"]*)` cannot
+// cross a `"`, and a JSON-escaped `\"` is still a literal `"` byte in the raw text — so ANY command
+// containing a quote was silently TRUNCATED at the first one. That fails OPEN on exactly the commands
+// most worth inspecting (issue #13 fixed this in verify-interface.sh, but design-wall.sh — written
+// AFTER — reintroduced the identical bug, because the fix lived in one file's inline `node -e` instead
+// of a shared, tested module). JSON string escaping is not a regular language; only a real parser is
+// correct. This is that parser, in ONE place, with ONE known-bad fixture test (hook-input.test.mjs),
+// imported by every gate.
+//
+// CLI (what the bash gates call — mirrors the inline `node -e` they used to each carry):
+//   printf '%s' "$INPUT" | node hook-input.mjs tool_name        -> prints event.tool_name

+// ── Shell command classification ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+//
+// WHY THIS IS A PARSER AND NOT A REGEX (2026-07-27, after issues #12, #13, #17, #41, #44 — four
+// filed defects and one live capture, all in 13 days, all the SAME defect in two different files).
+//
+//   #12 (07-13)  matched a tool name in PROSE and in a different binary (`ruflo-source-patch`).
+//   #13 (07-14)  a bash regex over the JSON payload truncated the command at the first quote.
+//   #41 (07-24)  a `|` inside a quoted grep pattern read as a real shell separator.
+//   #44 (07-26)  invocations nested in `bash -lc '…'`, backticks, and `"$( … )"` bypassed the gate.
+//   #17 (07-17)  design-wall.sh, a DIFFERENT gate: `[[ $CMD == *"git commit"* ]]` fires on prose.
+//                (The reporter said so verbatim in #17 and it was never acted on.)
+//   live (07-27) design-wall.sh blocked a maintainer because the words "agentic-qe integration plan"
+//                appeared inside a HEREDOC. Prose. Again.
+//
+// Every one of those fixes upgraded a pattern match over a FLAT STRING, and the next one arrived
+// within days. The class does not live in any of those patterns; it lives in the decision to ask a
+// string question about a structural fact. `ruflo memory search` is an invocation when `ruflo` is in
+// EXECUTABLE POSITION and text when it is not, and no amount of masking, anchoring, or escaping
+// makes a flat string able to tell those apart — the fifth patch would have failed the same way.
+//
+// THE INVARIANT, from here on: an enforcement gate classifies EXECUTABLE STRUCTURE, never a flat
+// string. This module is the one classifier. There is deliberately no regex fallback path in any
+// gate — a second path is exactly how this class survived four fixes.
+//
+// ── ARCHITECTURAL NOTE: THIS IS STILL THE WRONG BOUNDARY ─────────────────────────────────────────
+// Read this before adding a sixth patch to it.
+//
+// A parser beats the four regexes that preceded it, and it is still GOVERNING AT AN UNSTRUCTURED
+// BOUNDARY. The input is a shell command — a string a human or a model wrote, in a language with
+// quoting, substitution, heredocs, aliases, functions and `eval` — and this file's job is to
+// reconstruct the structure that the string only implies. Reconstruction is inference, inference has
+// a residual error rate, and every one of #12/#13/#41/#44 plus the 07-27 heredoc misfire is a sample
+// from it. Being right about all five is not the same as being right about the next one.
+//
+// rUv's own ecosystem does not do this. It governs where the structure is ALREADY EXPLICIT:
+//   • ruvector/npm/packages/ruvector/bin/mcp-policy.js (ADR-256) decides by TOOL NAME over the MCP
+//     tool registry — an allowlist with a default-deny posture, precedence DENY > ALLOW/PROFILE.
+//     There is no string to parse: the caller already said which tool it wants, by name.
+//   • cognitum-seed's src/cognitum-agent/src/mcp_tools.rs maps tool name → AuthClass over a declared
+//     tool table, and `tool_auth_class()` returns `AuthClass::Paired` for an unknown name — an
+//     explicit SAFE DEFAULT for the case this file has to guess at.
+// Both are total functions over a finite, declared surface. Neither can be fooled by a quote.
+//
+// THE LONG-TERM FIX, recorded so it is not rediscovered a sixth time: move interface verification to
+// the structured boundary — the tool-call surface, where the tool name and its arguments arrive as
+// fields rather than as text to be re-derived — and shrink string handling to the minimum that the
+// remaining raw-Bash surface genuinely requires. This file should get smaller over time, not larger.
+// A new patch here is a signal to move the boundary, not to deepen the parser.
+// Tracked as stuinfla/ruvnet-brain#48 and ADR-055 conflict-matrix finding F23. Both deliberately
+// remain open until the structured boundary has executable migration tests, not merely this note.
+// ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

+// WHAT IS A COMMAND, AND WHAT IS DATA:
+//   COMMAND  simple commands split at `;` `&&` `||` `|` `&` newline and group boundaries; `$( … )`
+//            and backticks (live at top level AND inside double quotes); process substitutions
+//            `<( … )`; literal `sh -c` / `bash -lc` / `bash -ic` / `/bin/sh -c` payloads, recursively.
+//   DATA     every quoted ARGUMENT, heredoc bodies, herestrings, `#` comments, single-quoted `$( … )`
+//            (single quotes suppress substitution), and `$(( … ))` arithmetic.
+//   UNKNOWN  a dynamic executable (`$TOOL foo`, `eval "$cmd"`, `bash -c "$cmd"`). The name is not in
+//            the text, so there is nothing to classify: it is reported as NOT a managed invocation
+//            and the gate fails open — #12's lesson, kept.
