Load-bearing gaten i den to-lags ingestion-sikkerheten: en deterministisk,
alltid-på node-skann (unicode/injection/base64, prosa + fenced code blocks) over
kandidat skills/**/*.md, wiret inn som sibling til validate-kb-file.mjs ved det
ENESTE skrive-chokepunktet — dekker kb-update + generate-skills + fremtidig R7.

- lib/adversarial-scan.mjs: ren disposition-kjerne (provenance-tiering + BLOCK/
  WARN-matrise). Ortogonal til korrekthets-judgen.
- lib/adversarial-detect.mjs: bro til de DELTE llm-security-detektorene
  (scanForInjection-lexikon + unicode-scanner + base64/entropi) — ingen kopi av
  lexikonet. Fail-closed hvis llm-security fraværende.
- scan-adversarial-content.mjs: CLI (speiler validate-kb-file.mjs); exit 1=BLOCK
  (aldri skriv), 2=WARN (flagg → menneske), 0=ren.
- 30 tester (19 kjerne + 7 CLI + 4 integrasjon mot ekte llm-security). Suite 692/0.

Premiss-verifisert mot live kode: research/research-agent skriver ingenting
(kun Layer A); R7-judge re-bruker samme create-guard; CLI-scan alene misset
injection+base64 for markdown → importerer rene primitiver i stedet.

+// (kb-update apply, generate-skills, a future R7 judge-pass) runs it AFTER composing a candidate
+// file and BEFORE writing/committing it. A file that BLOCKs is never written; a file that WARNs
+// is flagged for the operator (same human-in-loop as a status-claim flag — never auto-committed).
+//
+// It is orthogonal to the correctness machinery (validate-kb-file / the judge / verify-out):
+// those answer "is this claim true against its authority?"; this answers "is this fetched chunk
+// trying to inject instructions or smuggle an invisible/encoded payload?". Both gates run.
+//
+// Detection is the SHARED llm-security asset (imported by the bridge, adversarial-detect.mjs —
+// no lexicon copy). This file is the thin, DI'd orchestration + exit-code contract, mirroring
