/**
 * Reusable external content security module.
 *
 * Wraps untrusted content (Slack, email, webhooks, etc.) with security
 * boundaries before passing to LLM agents. Includes:
 * - Prompt injection pattern detection
 * - Unicode homoglyph folding (prevents marker spoofing)
 * - Boundary marker sanitization
 * - Source-typed content wrapping
 *
 * Pure functions — no side effects, no env vars, no I/O.
