…RA-1295)
- New file src/gradata/hooks/_injection_guard.py:
- is_suspicious(text) -> (bool, reason) with 16 compiled regex patterns
covering ignore/forget/disregard, jailbreak role-swap, system markers,
override/bypass, developer mode, and context attacks
- sanitize(text) -> str with NFKC normalization, zero-width char strip,
BOM strip, whitespace collapse
- Length cap: >100k chars treated as context-window saturation attack
- Wired into jit_inject.main() BEFORE BM25 scoring, behind
GRADATA_INJECTION_GUARD env flag (default OFF for safe upgrades)
- 30 tests covering all attack surfaces + integration with jit_inject
(guard on/off, benign pass-through, explicit bypass)
Closes: GRA-1295

📝 WalkthroughPrompt-Injection Sanitization Guard (GRA-1295)
WalkthroughThis PR introduces a prompt-injection guard that detects and sanitizes hostile prompts before JIT rule injection. The guard module defines detection patterns and normalization logic; integration tests validate behavior; and JIT inject wires the guard as an optional environment-gated checkpoint.

Inline comments:
In `@Gradata/src/gradata/hooks/_injection_guard.py`:
- Around line 119-126: The regex checks currently run on raw text (variable
text) and can be bypassed with zero-width chars; fix by normalizing the input
using the module's existing normalization function (the same normalization logic
already present in this module) before running the pattern checks: compute a
normalized_text = <module_normalize_fn>(text) and use normalized_text for the
loop that iterates over _COMPILED_PATTERNS (i.e., replace pattern.search(text)
with pattern.search(normalized_text)); keep the existing length cap behavior
tied to _MAX_DRAFT_LENGTH as-is or optionally apply the same normalization if
you want length checks to consider normalized content.
In `@Gradata/tests/test_injection_guard.py`:
- Around line 145-149: The tests unpack the tuple returned by is_suspicious into
variables like "suspicious, reason" but do not use "reason", causing
unused-variable warnings; update the unpacking in
test_length_at_cap_not_suspicious (and the other similar tests referenced) to
use a throwaway name like "_reason" or "_" (e.g., "suspicious, _reason =
is_suspicious(long_text)") so Ruff stops flagging the unused variable while
keeping the assertion on "suspicious" intact.
- Around line 216-234: The test test_guard_off_by_default_no_env is insufficient
because it asserts None when lessons.md is absent, so it can't confirm the guard
allowed pass-through; modify the test to create a lessons.md file under the same
tmp_path (e.g., write a minimal valid lesson content) before calling
gradata.hooks.jit_inject.main({"prompt": payload}) so that main returns a
non-None result when the guard is OFF, and change the assertion to assert result
is not None; apply the same change to the other similar test around lines
278-291 to ensure both verify actual bypass behavior.
- Around line 216-291: Move the repeated environment setup in the test_guard_*
tests into a conftest.py fixture that sets GRADATA_BRAIN_DIR from tmp_path and
configures GRADATA_JIT_ENABLED/GRADATA_HOOK_PROFILE/GRADATA_INJECTION_GUARD
per-test as needed; replace the per-test monkeypatch.setenv calls in
test_injection_guard.py (e.g., test_guard_off_by_default_no_env,
test_guard_on_blocks_suspicious, test_guard_on_normal_pass_through,
test_guard_on_with_explicit_off_bypasses) with this fixture injection. Ensure
the fixture refreshes any cached paths by reloading or clearing the module cache
for _paths.py and calling Brain.init() (use the Brain.init() symbol) inside the
fixture so tests see the tmp_path BRAIN_DIR consistently. Keep tests focused on
behavior only and remove duplicated env setup from each test.

Normalize before regex matching to prevent zero-width bypasses.
At Line 124, regex checks run on raw input. Inputs like ig\u200bnore previous instructions can evade detection even though the module already has normalization logic.

Guard-off tests currently can’t prove bypass behavior.
Both tests assert None while lessons.md is absent, so they pass even if suspicious input is blocked unexpectedly. Create lessons.md and assert non-None to validate true pass-through.
