class StaticPromptInjectionScorer(RegexScorer):
"""
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.
