The scanners cap by truncating: they return findings, so reading a prefix costs detection in the tail and nothing else. The three transform surfaces return *content*, where the same move is not available — a shortened document is silent data loss, and a transformed prefix followed by an untransformed tail is a bypass, since the attacker chooses where in the document the payload sits. So they fail secure instead. Above MAX_INPUT_CHARS (1 000 000) sanitize, fence and neutralize raise OversizeInputError. sanitize is step 1 of prepare_input and only ever removes, so that one refusal bounds the whole input path. OversizeInputError subclasses ContractViolation: a pipeline already bracketing its quarantined stage keeps failing closed rather than meeting a type it has never heard of. It inherits the alert-routable property too — sizes in the message, refusing surface in details, no input in either. Invariant now pinned across all three: returned text is always fully transformed, or not returned at all. Still uncapped and recorded in LIMITATIONS: scan_active_content called directly (through scan_output it inherits that cap) and the okf link graph. Both are detection-shaped, so truncate-and-flag transfers unchanged — mechanical, not policy. 699 tests (+23), coverage 128/128 + 6/6, ReDoS sweep 0 candidates / 150.

"""fence — wrap untrusted content in a randomized quarantine delimiter.
|
|
|
|
A downstream *trusted* prompt presents ingested content to the model. The fence
|
|
gives that prompt an unspoofable boundary: everything between the delimiters is
|
|
untrusted data and must never be read as instructions. Two properties make the
|
|
boundary hold:
|
|
|
|
1. **Unguessable per-call nonce.** The delimiter carries a fresh,
|
|
cryptographically-random nonce every call (:func:`secrets.token_hex`), so an
|
|
attacker embedded in the payload cannot forge the matching closing delimiter
|
|
to break out — the nonce is unpredictable.
|
|
2. **Marker-strip first.** Before wrapping, any fabricated fence markers already
|
|
present in the payload are removed and flagged. The random nonce already
|
|
defeats a break-out; stripping the static marker skeleton is defense in depth
|
|
and surfaces the attempt as a finding.
|
|
|
|
Pure transform: ``text -> (fenced_text, report)``. The only mutation is the
|
|
marker-strip; the payload is otherwise wrapped verbatim. Disposition stays with
|
|
the caller (design principle 4).
