Behavioral Canarying

Behavioral Canarying is a pre-execution prompt-injection sensing pattern that exposes untrusted input to a sacrificial model with no application authority, then analyzes the model's response for evidence of compromise before the primary agent acts. Routing disposition and inspection coverage are reported separately; the method is a sensor, not a security guarantee.
