+Curated attack pattern library for the semantic scanner.
+
+Each entry represents a known prompt-injection / context-manipulation
+technique.  At scanner startup these are encoded into dense vectors
+using the configured sentence-transformer model.
+
+Categories are aligned with the ACF threat model:
+- instruction_override  : attempts to replace the system prompt
+- context_manipulation   : injecting false context into RAG / memory
+- data_exfiltration      : tricking the agent into leaking data
+- tool_abuse             : manipulating tool inputs / outputs
+- role_hijack            : forcing the agent into an unintended persona
+- encoding_evasion       : obfuscation attempts (backup for normaliser)
+
+Sources: curated from PINT benchmark, Open-Prompt-Injection,
+HackAPrompt, LLMail-Inject, and manual red-teaming.
