Kjell Tore Guttormsen b90233481a feat(active-content,okf): bound the last two detection surfaces
`scan_active_content` called directly and `okf.link_graph` were the two surfaces
still reading attacker-supplied text with no cap — the first reached by an
adapter that wants the active-content classes alone, the second running a
`findall` over every body in a bundle. Both are detection-shaped, so they
truncate and flag rather than raise the way the transform surfaces do: what a
detector shortens is its own coverage, not the caller's content.

Truncation is only honest if it is visible, so neither goes quiet: the scanner
emits `active:oversize-input` (LLM10), and `link_graph` records
`(from_id, body_length)` in `LinkGraphResult.truncated` — the field that lets a
caller tell "no links past here" from "no links read past here".

Reached through `scan_output`, the text is already under that surface's cap and
`max_scan_chars` is now passed down, so the flag is raised once, there.

"""output — the report-only OUTPUT gate (compose + secret egress).
Query-time guardrails guard the answer; this guards the *persisted artifact*.
``output`` is the last gate before model output is written to a wiki, doc, or
knowledge base: it scans the emitted text and reports what must not be persisted.
It is **report-only** (design principles 3 & 4) — it never mutates the text.
Mutation is ``neutralize``'s separate, opt-in job; disposition (WARN /
QUARANTINE_REVIEW / FAIL_SECURE) is the caller's, decided from this ``Report``.
It composes the existing detectors over the output and adds the egress layer the
input-side scanners do not cover:
1. :func:`~llm_ingestion_guard.lexicon.scan_lexicon` over the output — injection
strings the model reproduced into the artifact (RAG poisoning).
2. :func:`~llm_ingestion_guard.entropy.scan_entropy` over the output — encoded /
high-entropy carrier blobs.
3. **Decode-and-rescan** — every base64 blob ``entropy`` decoded to printable
text is fed back through ``scan_lexicon`` **and** ``scan_secret_egress``.
This is what turns "a blob is present" into "an injection — or a wrapped
credential — is hidden *inside* this blob". Findings from the decoded
plaintext are re-labelled ``decoded:<label>`` (e.g.
``decoded:egress:aws-access-key-id``) and carry the blob's offset in the
original text. (Scope: base64 only — ``entropy`` exposes decoded plaintext
for base64, not hex; a hex-*wrapped* secret stays a documented honest-limit.)
4. **Secret / credential egress** (:func:`scan_secret_egress`, OWASP LLM02 —
Sensitive Information Disclosure) — cloud/provider API keys, PEM private-key
headers, DB connection strings, JWTs, and labelled password/secret/api-key
assignments, with false-positive suppression for placeholders and variable
references. Ported from the ``llm-security`` ``knowledge/secrets-patterns.md``
seed. Classic PII (email / national-ID / card numbers) is intentionally out
of scope for v1 — high false-positive risk, not in the seed.
5. **Invisible carrier presence** (:func:`_scan_invisible_carriers`) — zero-width
and BIDI override/isolate characters in the emitted artifact. Output is
report-only and never sanitized, so this is the persist-gate analogue of
``sanitize``'s input-side stripping; disposition treats the labels as
any-tier carriers. Unicode-tag / PUA stego is already surfaced by step 1.
6. **Active content** (:func:`~llm_ingestion_guard.active_content.scan_active_content`,
OWASP LLM05 — Improper Output Handling) — markdown images/links, reference
definitions, autolinks, raw active HTML and ``data:`` URIs with an external
target: the zero-click EchoLeak exfil class (CVE-2025-32711). Report-only;
``neutralize`` remains the separate, opt-in defanger of the same constructs.
**Security property (this module specifically).** A finding's ``evidence`` never
contains the secret value it matched — only a human description and the match
length. The report is meant to be logged; it must not become the leak.
**Self-safety (OWASP LLM10).** The output is capped once to ``max_scan_chars``
and a single ``output:oversize-input`` finding is emitted if it was truncated;
every sub-scanner then sees bounded input.
Bounded input is not by itself bounded runtime, and this module used to claim it
was. The egress patterns have no nested quantifiers — that part was true — but
absence of nesting does not imply linearity. A run in front of a *required*
literal (here: the password run before ``@``) makes every start position rescan
the tail when the literal never arrives, which is quadratic in the scanned
length. Crafted input repeating ``redis://:`` measured 8.2s at 100_000 chars and
extrapolated to hours at the 1_000_000-char cap this gate itself accepts. The
connection-string runs are therefore bounded to
:data:`~llm_ingestion_guard.calibration.MAX_CONNSTR_VALUE`; the same defect in
the active-content table is fixed there by excluding the anchor character. Both
are pinned by ``tests/test_output.py::test_crafted_redos_payload_stays_bounded``.
