* fix(security): harden untrusted_context_message against delimiter spoofing Root cause: untrusted_context_message() did not sanitise content before interpolating it into the <<<UNTRUSTED_SOURCE_DATA>>> / <<<END_UNTRUSTED_SOURCE_DATA>>> delimited sandbox block. Malicious content embedding the literal delimiter strings could prematurely close the sandbox and inject instructions that the LLM treats as trusted. Fix: add _escape_guard_markers() helper that replaces the guard marker strings with structurally inert tokens (<<<_UNTRUSTED_DATA>>> and <<<_END_UNTRUSTED_DATA>>>) before the content is wrapped. The function is applied in untrusted_context_message() after casting content to str. The existing ~13 call sites (chat_processor.py, agent_loop.py, deep_research.py, chat_helpers.py, chat_routes.py) are unaffected because they pass content through without inspecting the output delimiters. Regression tests added in tests/test_prompt_security.py covering: - _escape_guard_markers unit tests (open, close, both, benign passthrough) - untrusted_context_message integration tests (delimiter spoofing neutralisation, type coercion, None handling, metadata preservation) Resolves #3056 * fix(security): sanitize label for newlines and guard markers Addresses reviewer feedback on PR #3086: - Normalize label: strip CR/LF to prevent pre-guard line injection - Escape guard marker literals in label via _escape_guard_markers() - Add regression tests for label-based newline injection, GUARD_OPEN and GUARD_CLOSE in label, and exactly-one-structural-guard assertion * fix(security): move Source label inside GUARD_OPEN block The reviewer correctly identified that even after sanitizing the label, any user-derived label text (e.g. `f"web page: {url}"`) still appeared before GUARD_OPEN in the trusted framing zone, where the LLM treats it as trusted instructions. Fix: move the 'Source: {label}' line to inside the guarded block so only the hardcoded UNTRUSTED_CONTEXT_HEADER sits before GUARD_OPEN. The raw label is still kept in metadata["source"] for traceability. _sanitize_label() and _escape_guard_markers() are kept for defence-in- depth on the label stored inside the block. Update test_label_newline_injection_is_blocked to assert no label- derived instruction text appears before GUARD_OPEN (pre-guard zone is now empty of any user-derived content).
