//! Safety layer for prompt injection defense.
//!
//! This crate provides protection against prompt injection attacks by:
//! - Detecting suspicious patterns in external data
//! - Sanitizing tool outputs before they reach the LLM
//! - Validating inputs before processing
//! - Enforcing safety policies
//! - Detecting secret leakage in outputs
//! This crate re-exports the shared safety implementation from `src/safety`
//! so internal workspace users compile against the exact same source as the
//! main `ironclaw` crate.
