| 1 | +//! Inline content gate — judge an in-flight LLM/MCP request or response *before* it reaches the |
| 2 | +//! model, and redact secrets/PII from it on the way out. |
| 3 | +//! |
| 4 | +//! This is the inline counterpart to the reactive observer-event pipeline. Sentry's README calls it |
| 5 | +//! out as the missing piece: |
| 6 | +//! |
| 7 | +//! > Reactive, not a pre-execution gate … A true input gate (hold a prompt until judged) needs an |
| 8 | +//! > inline proxy … the `Judge` pipeline is transport-agnostic, so an inline mode can be added later. |
| 9 | +//! |
| 10 | +//! a3s-gateway's wire proxy is that inline transport: on each decoded request/response body it calls |
| 11 | +//! [`inspect`](Pipeline) (via [`Sentry::inspect_wire`](crate::Sentry::inspect_wire)). The detection |
| 12 | +//! reuses the existing tiers verbatim — the wire content is wrapped as an [`Event::SslContent`] and |
| 13 | +//! run through the same [`Pipeline`], so the built-in `prompt-injection` / `secret-in-egress` rules |
| 14 | +//! (and any L2 LLM guard) fire with no new judging logic. The one genuinely new piece is **masking**: |
| 15 | +//! producing concrete spans the proxy swaps for placeholders outbound and restores inbound, so the |
| 16 | +//! real secret never leaves the machine. |
| 17 | +//! |
| 18 | +//! Detection (block/allow) and masking (redact) are orthogonal: content can be allowed *and* still |
| 19 | +//! have a key masked out of it. The proxy maps `Block` → 4xx and applies [`InlineDecision::redactions`]. |
