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