+"""Prompt-injection guard for UserPromptSubmit hook (jit_inject.py)."
+
+Scans user drafts before BM25 scoring. Catches:
+ - Roleplay / fictional framing (grandmother exploit, EvilGPT, simulation)
+ - "print instructions" / "repeat everything above" phrasings
+ - ChatML (<|im_start|>) and Alpaca (### Instruction:) markers
+ - base64 / ROT13 encoded injection payloads
+ - Few-shot hijack / fake assistant dialogue
+ - Virtualization / game framing
+ - Goal hijack / developer impersonation
+ - Indirect injection markers
+
+Gated by env var ``GRADATA_INJECTION_GUARD`` (default ON for new installs,
+OFF for upgrades to avoid breaking existing setups).
+
+Architecture: returns ``(suspicious: bool, reason: str)`` from ``is_suspicious()``
+and a cleaned string from ``sanitize()``. The hook in ``jit_inject.py`` uses
+``is_suspicious`` as a pre-filter; if the draft is hostile the hook returns
+``None`` (no rules injected) rather than injecting attacker-crafted rules.
