/// Gatekeeper — Enforcement Walkthrough (six scenarios across the gate layers), on a real model.
///
/// AgentEval doesn't only MEASURE agents — it can STOP them. This walks the stack against a live model:
/// 1. Tool gate — a destructive tool call is blocked before it runs.
/// 2. The moat — a real red-team evaluator (ContainsToken) guards a live tool call.
/// 3. Canary honeypot — an advertised lure; a call to it is the compromise signal (blocked + recorded).
/// 4. Shadow judge — an expensive async check arms quarantine so a LATER run fails closed.
/// 5. Defense in depth — require an operator, reject the attack at the door, rate-limit — before the model runs.
/// 6. More gates — a poisoned argument, a dangerous tool sequence, and a run-post PII gate.
///
/// Some scenes rely on the model attempting a bad action; a well-aligned model may resist — the sample reports the
/// REAL outcome honestly (blocked, or the model declined).
///
/// 🔑 Requires Azure OpenAI credentials (AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT / _API_KEY / _DEPLOYMENT).
/// ⏱️ Time to understand: 5 minutes
