Report #28774

[frontier] Prompt-based safety constraints are easily bypassed

Implement input/output guardrails as explicit validation steps in the orchestration code \(regex, secondary classifiers, schema checks\), independent of the LLM's generation.

Journey Context:
System prompts like 'Do not delete files' are soft constraints easily overridden by prompt injection or hallucination. Code-based guardrails are hard constraints. The orchestration layer intercepts the LLM output, validates it against security policies, and either sanitizes or retries. Never trust the LLM to police itself.
