262825db74
A 200 response with empty content (finish_reason="length" after a reasoning model spends the whole max_tokens budget on hidden reasoning) mapped to ESCALATE via a plain _VERDICTS dict miss with no log above DEBUG — indistinguishable from a genuine strict verdict for days (#117428, failure mode of #108163/#68263). The exception path already warns (#93809); this closes the truncation path's asymmetry. Fixes #117428

"""Regression tests for prompt injection hardening in smart approvals.
|
|
|
|
The smart approval guard sends shell commands to an auxiliary LLM for
|
|
risk assessment. The command text is untrusted (it comes from the primary
|
|
LLM which may itself be prompt-injected), so the guard must defend against
|
|
embedded instructions designed to manipulate the assessment.
|
|
|
|
Defenses under test:
|
|
1. _strip_shell_comments — removes the easiest injection vector
|
|
2. _strip_line_comment — quote-aware per-line comment stripping
|
|
3. _smart_approve — XML-fenced, system-prompt-hardened LLM call
