+# The Bijection Attack is based on the Bijection Learning attack [@huang2024bijectionlearning].
+#
+# It works by teaching a target LLM a secret character mapping through demonstration shots,
+# then sending harmful prompts encoded in that mapping to bypass safety filters.
+# The response is decoded using the inverse mapping and stored in result metadata.
+#
+# The results and intermediate interactions will be saved to memory according to the environment settings.
