Kjell Tore Guttormsen 736f370cfb fix(active-content): raw-html graded two inert shapes HIGH, and the fix moved a second surface
`is_active_tag`'s URL-attribute branch was a presence test: any element carrying
`href=`/`src=`/`action=` graded HIGH regardless of where the URL pointed. An MDX
`<Card href="/en/agent-sdk/quickstart">` reaches no attacker-controlled host, and
neither does APIM policy XML's `<set-header>`. It now requires an external target
-- the rule the markdown paths have applied since 0.3.1. `<base>` left the active
name set in the same change: HTML's `<base>` has its whole affordance in an `href`
the attribute branch still catches, and APIM's attribute-less `<base />` is inert.

Measured before and after in ONE session against one corpus state, because two of
the three corpora are living and a split would mix this with re-harvest drift:

  reference-corpus  389 docs   133 -> 108   (ceiling 107)
  vendor-harvest    187 docs   100 ->  98   (ceiling  62)
  generated-notes   550 docs    90 ->  88   (ceiling  49)

96% of the achievable reduction in reference-corpus, 5% in the wiki corpora. The
two classes had to be measured TOGETHER -- alone they free 3 and 13 documents,
together 25, because a document carrying one usually carries the other.

The second surface: `neutralize` imported `is_active_tag` by name, so this would
have silently narrowed the opt-in mutator too -- and no test discriminated the two
halves, since every `neutralize:raw-html` payload stays active under any narrowing
considered. That test is written first here. The predicates are now separate
symbols; the mutator keeps defanging anything, because over-defanging is auditable
and blocks nothing while under-defanging hands a human a live construct.

Behaviour change: a document whose only finding was one of these classes now WARNs
instead of holding. Detection is unchanged -- 128/128 classes, 6/6 gaps hold.

Self-safety: reading an attribute VALUE needs a pattern the presence test lacks. It
reuses the same literal alternation so no new run shape enters the table; its
`_REDOS_PAYLOADS` row denies the `=` the pattern requires, since a unit supplying it
matches at once and never exercises the run (the lexicon's `script-tag` row is the
cautionary case). 0.031-0.046s across five attack shapes at 100_000 chars against a
2.0s bound; `docs/redos-sweep.py` reports 0 candidates of 152. An attribute the
presence test saw but the value parser cannot read counts as external -- fail secure.

`docs/rawhtml-census.py` gains a PRODUCTION row that re-measures the shipped
predicate rather than a hypothesis, so a published number and the code cannot drift
apart unnoticed. README's limitation count moves 34 -> 33.

727 passed (was 717).

"""Tests for the report-only active-content detector (review 2026-07, Session A).
``scan_active_content`` closes the EchoLeak wiring hole (CVE-2025-32711): the
active-content classes ``neutralize`` can defang — markdown images/links,
reference-link definitions, angle-bracket autolinks, raw active HTML, ``data:``
URIs — must also surface as *findings* on the standard gate, so
``screen_output`` and ``okf.import_bundle`` dispose of them instead of admitting
them silently (OWASP LLM05 — Improper Output Handling).
Report-only twin of ``neutralize`` (design principles 3 & 4): it never mutates,
and severities mirror the defanger's (image / raw-html / data-uri HIGH, links
MEDIUM). One deliberate divergence: markdown images/links are flagged only when
the URL is absolute or protocol-relative — a relative in-document link carries
no exfiltration affordance, and flagging it would silently over-block legitimate
wiki content (design principle 5: over-blocking is a failure mode).
