"""Tests for the tool-result message builder — focuses on the untrusted-content delimiter wrapping that hardens against indirect prompt injection (#496). Promptware defense: results from tools that fetch attacker-controllable content (web_extract, browser_*, mcp_*) get wrapped in so the model treats them as data, not instructions. The wrapper is intentionally NOT a regex scan — it's an unconditional architectural mark on every result from a known-untrusted source.
