/// Gatekeeper — defense in depth against one injection campaign. Samples 04 and 06 each show half: 04 the
/// calibrated LLM judge alone, 06 a stack of deterministic tool gates. This shows the calibrated judge's detection
/// alongside a defended agent behind the deterministic tool gates, driving a multi-step attack so a different
/// layer catches each step:
/// ① retrieved content that tries to INSTRUCT the agent → the calibrated IndirectInjectionJudge
/// ② acting on an INVENTED id from a poisoned tool result → ReferentialIntegrityGate (tool)
/// ③ exfiltrating a confidential value off-host → DomainAllowListGate / TaintTrackingGate (tool)
/// The Gatekeeper's own verdicts (which gate fired, and why) are printed from the Glass Box trace via GateVoice.
///
/// Honest by construction: each scene keys its ✅/❌ on the trace's block count and the real tool-effect counters —
/// so a scene shows ✅ only when a gate actually stopped the action, ❌ if the harmful call ran, and says so plainly
/// when the model simply didn't take the bait this run.
