"""Known 2025-2026 attacks that can reach an ingestion pipeline — one case per arrival. The rows are frozen in `docs/threat-2026/attacks.json` (session 1, 2026-10-28): sources, scope decisions and the out-of-scope rows with their reasons live there, and the completeness guard at the bottom keeps this file and that list in step. WHAT "CAUGHT" MEANS. Each arrival runs through the canonical wiring the showcase uses — input: ``prepare_input`` then ``scan_output(source=INPUT)`` over the fenced text; output: ``scan_output(source=OUTPUT)``. An arrival is caught when a finding whose label matches the row's MECHANISM fires and ``decide`` under ``PRESET_USER_UPLOAD`` does not merely WARN. The mechanism match is what keeps an incidental finding (an entropy hit on an unrelated blob) from counting. RED TODAY is ``xfail(strict=True)``: strict, so the session that makes a row catch fails here until it removes the marker and updates the row. A row whose expected status is a documented ``gap`` asserts that the gap still stands. Payloads are inert: the published technique only, ``*.test`` hosts, placeholder data, no working chain against a named product.
