 - ships the shared abstractions, infrastructure, AI runtime, provider integrations, and protocol packages under the `CrestApps.Core` name
 - assigns stable first-party anonymous visitor IDs to AI chat sessions, uses those visitor IDs for unique-visitor analytics, makes remote-address capture configurable with privacy-first hashed defaults plus optional plain-text or encrypted-at-rest storage, protects anonymous chat session starts with shared ASP.NET Core plus hub-level rate limiting, and documents how hosts can tune thresholds or replace the default endpoint policy with their own `Microsoft.AspNetCore.RateLimiting` policy
+- lets AI Profiles and AI Profile-source templates override the site-wide anti-spam throttle limits through `PromptSecurityProfileSettings` (max messages per window, message window, max anonymous sessions per window, and anonymous session window), with each unset value falling back to the `PromptSecurityOptions` site default so profiles can raise or lower quotas per use case; both the message and anonymous session-start limiters honor the overrides, while high-level input and output security guards (injection detection, output filtering, security preamble, input delimiters, blocking threshold, and maximum prompt length) remain global-only concerns
 - defers AI Profile initial-prompt persistence until the first real user prompt arrives and stops the sample chat widgets from auto-creating empty sessions on initial page load
 - includes a reference MVC host and an Aspire host for local composition and testing
 - includes a dedicated `CrestApps.Core.Tests` project for framework validation

+Anti-spam throttling can be customized per AI Profile (or AI Profile-source template) using `PromptSecurityProfileSettings`. Any field left `null` falls back to the site-level default:
 
 ```csharp
 profile.WithSettings(new PromptSecurityProfileSettings
 {
     MaxMessagesPerWindow = 10,
     RateLimitWindow = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2),
+    MaxAnonymousSessionsPerWindow = 3,

-Set `MaxMessagesPerWindow` to `0` on a profile to disable rate limiting for that profile even when site-level rate limiting is enabled.
+Both the message throttle (`DefaultChatRateLimiter`) and the anonymous session-start throttle (`DefaultChatSessionStartRateLimiter`) honor these overrides, falling back to the site defaults on `PromptSecurityOptions` when a value is not set. Set `MaxMessagesPerWindow` (or `MaxAnonymousSessionsPerWindow`) to `0` on a profile to disable that throttle for the profile even when site-level rate limiting is enabled.
