// content-extractor-strip.test.mjs — Regression tests for the remote-scan
// injection boundary.
//
// stripInjection returns { sanitized, findings }. `sanitized` is what reaches
// the LLM agent (verbatim, via sanitized_content in the evidence package), so a
// pattern that is DETECTED but not REMOVED defeats the entire defense: the
// report says "injection found" while the payload is handed to the agent anyway.
//
// The original implementation replaced `match[0]` in the raw text. For matches
// found only in the decoded variant, match[0] is the DECODED string, which does
// not occur in the raw text — so String.replace was a silent no-op.
