+These are *defense-in-depth*, never load-bearing (the load-bearing control is the
+code-computed verdict in ``verdict.py``):

+- ``make_nonce`` / ``fence`` / ``UNTRUSTED_PREAMBLE`` — wrap every untrusted span
+  (PR title, diff, campaign spec, tool output) in a per-run *randomized* sentinel
+  with a system preamble (D-INJ outer, §2.2.5). A static sentinel is trivially
+  closed by the attacker; the nonce is the only version worth shipping. Still
+  defeated by instruction-via-data — hence outer-only.
+- ``sanitize_for_comment`` — defang model/untrusted text before reflecting it to
+  GitHub (§2.2.4): neutralize ``@``-mentions, strip zero-width / bidi control
+  chars, bound length. Stops injection-to-output (steering the next reader/pass).
