Prompt injection: direct (LLM01)

#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""
LAB SE2: Direct prompt injection (LLM01), the offense.

Direct injection is the attacker typing straight into the input box and
overriding what the app was told to do. "Ignore your instructions and instead..."
is the folklore version. The real mechanism is simpler and worse: the attacker's
text lands in the same prompt as the developer's instruction, so a well-formed
payload does not just influence the answer, it TAKES the output.

This support app promises one thing: "we return the sentiment of your review, and
nothing else." In this lab an attacker makes it return an arbitrary attacker
string instead, proving full control of the output, not just a nudge. Then the
hardened version, which delimits and neutralizes the untrusted input, returns the
real label and the injection dies.
