Guardrails and input/output filtering

"""
LAB SE5: Guardrails and input/output filtering (defense).

You cannot fix injection inside the prompt, so you wrap the model in controls it
cannot talk its way past. Two of them sit on the edges of every call. An INPUT
guardrail inspects untrusted input before it reaches the model and blocks known
attack shapes. An OUTPUT guardrail inspects the response before it reaches the
user or the next system and blocks leaks and unsafe content. These are ordinary
deterministic classifiers, not the model grading itself, which is exactly why an
injection cannot disable them.

In this lab a naive app passes input straight to the model and returns whatever
comes back. A battery of hostile cases walks through it untouched. Then the same
battery runs through a guarded app: the input guard catches the injection and
jailbreak attempts, the output guard catches the leaked secret, and only the
benign request is served. Balance matters too, so the guard must NOT block a
normal question (a false positive is a broken product).
