Prompt Firewall
Detection authorises nothing. A flagged span is quarantined as data and can never be promoted into instruction position, so a missed pattern cannot escalate an untrusted object — that is decided by the label algebra, not by this list. An uncompilable operator pattern is stored as match-nothing rather than throwing: the firewall never fails open and never crashes open.
