Add randomized codeword defense against DataFlip attacks (arXiv:2507.05630)

TaskShield now uses randomly generated 12-character alphabetical codewords
instead of predictable YES/NO responses. This defends against DataFlip-style
adaptive attacks where injected content tries to:
1. Detect the presence of a verification prompt
2. Extract and return the expected 'approval' signal

Key changes:
- Generate unique approve/reject codewords per verification (26^12 ≈ 10^17 space)
- Strict validation: response must exactly match one codeword
- Any non-matching response (including YES/NO) is rejected (fail-closed)
- Updated prompts to use codeword placeholders

Tests: Added 12 new tests for codeword security including DataFlip attack
simulation, YES/NO rejection, empty response handling, and codeword generation.

+"""Task Shield middleware for verifying agent actions align with system constraints and user intent.
+
+**Protection Category: TOOL USE PROTECTION (Action Verification + Optional Minimization)**
+
+This middleware verifies that proposed tool calls align with BOTH:
+1. **System prompt constraints** - What the agent is ALLOWED to do
+2. **User's current request** - What the user is ASKING for
+
+A tool call is only permitted if it serves the user's intent AND respects system constraints.
+If these conflict (user asks for something forbidden), the action is blocked.
+
+Optionally, with `minimize=True`, the middleware also minimizes tool arguments to only
+what's necessary for the user's request, preventing data exfiltration attacks.
+
+Based on the papers:
+
+**Action Verification:**
+"The Task Shield: Enforcing Task Alignment to Defend Against Indirect Prompt Injection"
+https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.16682
+
+**Argument Minimization (minimize=True):**
+"Defeating Prompt Injections by Design" (Tool-Input Firewall / Minimizer)
+https://arxiv.org/abs/2510.05244
+
+**Randomized Codeword Defense:**
+"How Not to Detect Prompt Injections with an LLM" (DataFlip attack mitigation)
+https://arxiv.org/abs/2507.05630
+
+This paper showed that Known-Answer Detection (KAD) schemes using predictable
+YES/NO responses are vulnerable to adaptive attacks that can extract and return
+the expected "clean" signal. We mitigate this by using randomly generated
+12-character alphabetical codewords for each verification, making it infeasible
+for injected content to guess the correct approval token.
+
+Defense Stack Position::
+
+    User Input → Agent → [THIS: Action Check + Minimize] → Tool → [Output Sanitizer] → Agent
+
+What it defends against:
+- Goal hijacking attacks that redirect agent to attacker objectives
+- Actions that technically pass filters but don't serve user's intent
+- Attempts to bypass system constraints via injection
+- Data exfiltration via unnecessary tool arguments (with minimize=True)
+- Subtle manipulation that output sanitizers might miss
+- DataFlip-style adaptive attacks that try to return expected approval tokens
+
+Security Model:
+- System prompt = CONSTRAINTS (immutable rules for the agent)
+- User message = INTENT (what user wants, may conflict with constraints)
+- Tool call must satisfy BOTH to be allowed
+- Conflicts are blocked with explanation
+- Verification uses randomized codewords (not predictable YES/NO)
+
+Note: Neither system prompt nor user goal is cached, as both can change:
+- System prompt changes with subagents, middleware modifications
+- User goal changes with each conversation turn
+
+Performance (from papers):
+- Task Shield ASR: 2.07% on AgentDojo
+- Task Shield Utility: 69.79% task performance retained
+- Minimizer + Sanitizer combined: 0% ASR across 4 benchmarks
+- Latency: ~100-200ms (single LLM call for both verification and minimization)

+"""Sanitize tool results to defend against indirect prompt injection.
+
+**Protection Category: INPUT PROTECTION (Tool Results → Agent)**
+
+This middleware sanitizes tool outputs AFTER tool execution but BEFORE the agent
+processes them. It prevents attacks where malicious instructions are embedded in
+external data (web pages, emails, API responses, etc.).
+
+Based on the paper:
+"Defeating Prompt Injections by Design"
+https://arxiv.org/abs/2601.04795
+
+Defense Stack Position::
+
+    User Input → Agent → [Input Minimizer] → [Task Shield] → Tool → [THIS] → Agent
+
+The middleware combines two complementary defense techniques:
+
+1. **CheckTool**: Detects if tool output contains instructions that would trigger
+   additional tool calls. Uses the LLM's native tool-calling capability - if binding
+   tools and invoking produces tool_calls, injection is detected.
+
+2. **ParseData**: Extracts only the data the agent expects from the tool result,
+   filtering out any injected instructions. The agent specifies what data format
+   it anticipates, and only matching data passes through.
+
+Together, these provide defense-in-depth against indirect prompt injection.
+
+Performance (from paper, combined CheckTool + ParseData):
+- ASR: 0% on InjecAgent, AgentDojo, AgentSecurityBench, BIPIA
+- Utility: Minimal degradation when using capable models
