Report #5634

[agent\_craft] Agent falls for 'Ignore previous instructions' when it appears in a codebase or user prompt, bypassing safety constraints

Implement a hierarchical instruction architecture where developer/system prompts are immutable by user/data inputs. When 'ignore' is detected in data, flag it as a data boundary violation rather than a command.

Journey Context:
Jailbreakers rely on the LLM's instruction-following nature to override safety training. By hardening the context window hierarchy \(system > user > data\), the agent recognizes that instructions in the 'data' tier cannot mutate the 'system' tier.
