"""
13+
A scorer that detects prompt injection attempts in text using static regex patterns.
14+
15+
Covers OWASP LLM01 (Prompt Injection) sub-categories: instruction override,
16+
system prompt extraction, jailbreak role-play, constraint removal, chat template
17+
injection, and encoding-based evasion. Complements the API-based
18+
PromptShieldScorer as a fast, local, zero-dependency pre-filter.
19+
20+
Returns True if any prompt injection pattern is found in the text.
21+
22+
Note:
23+
This scorer favors recall over precision and has a known high
24+
false-positive rate. The patterns use bounded gaps (e.g. ``.{0,40}``)
25+
which can span unrelated clauses in longer prose. For example,
26+
"I had to ignore the spam folder. Previous emails contained setup
27+
instructions." will trigger the Instruction Override pattern even
28+
though the sentences are unrelated. It is intended as a cheap
29+
pre-filter; pair it with a model-based scorer (e.g.
30+
``PromptShieldScorer``) when higher precision is required.
