Subject: [PATCH 1/8] feat: add YAML pattern loading and Lasso pattern merge to
prompt-guard (t1375.1)
Add _pg_load_yaml_patterns() with auto-detect and inline fallback, create
prompt-injection-patterns.yaml with 108 patterns (39 existing + 69 from
Lasso Security's claude-hooks MIT patterns covering homoglyph/Unicode,
fake JSON/XML system roles, HTML/code comment injection, priority
manipulation, fake delimiters, split personality, acrostic/steganographic,
and fake previous conversation claims), add scan-stdin subcommand for
pipeline use (curl | scan-stdin), extend test suite to 74 tests.
Closes #2698

+# Prompt Injection Patterns — aidevops (t1375.1)
+# ================================================================
+# Comprehensive pattern database for prompt injection detection.
+# Merges aidevops inline patterns (t1327.8) with net-new patterns
+# from Lasso Security's claude-hooks (MIT, github.com/lasso-security/claude-hooks).
+#
+# FORMAT:
+# Each category contains a list of patterns with:
+# severity: CRITICAL | HIGH | MEDIUM | LOW
+# description: Human-readable description
+# pattern: PCRE-compatible regex (rg/grep -P)
+#
+# SEVERITY MAPPING (Lasso → aidevops):
+# Lasso "high" → CRITICAL or HIGH (based on directness of attack)
+# Lasso "medium" → MEDIUM
+# Lasso "low" → LOW
+#
+# CATEGORIES:
+# instruction_override — Direct instruction override/ignore/reset
+# role_play — Jailbreak, persona switching, restriction bypass
+# delimiter_injection — Fake system blocks, ChatML, XML tags
+# encoding_tricks — Base64, hex, Unicode, leetspeak, homoglyphs
+# system_prompt_extraction — Attempts to reveal system prompt
+# social_engineering — Urgency, authority claims, emotional manipulation
+# data_exfiltration — Attempts to leak data via URLs/encoding
+# context_manipulation — Token smuggling, history manipulation, false claims
+#
+# ADDING PATTERNS:
+# 1. Choose the appropriate category
+# 2. Add severity, description, and PCRE pattern
+# 3. Run: prompt-guard-helper.sh test
+#
+# LICENSE:
+# Lasso-originated patterns are MIT licensed (Lasso Security, 2026).
+# aidevops patterns are part of the aidevops framework.

Subject: [PATCH 5/8] fix: scan-stdin TTY check warns instead of blocking
interactive input
Address CodeRabbit review: when stdin is a terminal, show a helpful
hint (Ctrl+D to end, Ctrl+C to cancel) instead of refusing to run.
This allows interactive use while still guiding the user.

check and flag ordering

overrode the new implementation and broke no-arg YAML auto-detection
- Move _PG_YAML_PATTERNS_LOADED=true to after _pg_find_yaml_patterns succeeds,
preventing transient failures from permanently disabling YAML loading

Subject: [PATCH 8/8] fix: simplify _pg_get_patterns to inline-only, fix test
YAML format
- _pg_get_patterns: remove orphaned YAML-loading logic (called old
_pg_load_yaml_patterns signature with arg); YAML routing is handled
by _pg_scan_message which calls _pg_load_yaml_patterns directly
- Test YAML: switch from flat patterns: list to category-keyed block
format matching the pure-bash parser expectations; severity must be
the list item start trigger; remove yq/python3 availability gate
since pure-bash parser needs no external tools
- Reset _PG_YAML_PATTERNS_LOADED/_CACHE around test to prevent cache
contamination between test runs
