"""
Red team tests — Memory Sentinel.
Ports TestMemoryPoisoningWrite and TestMemoryPoisoningRecall from the
Zugabot test suite.
Coverage:
- Write path: embedded execution instructions, sleeper instructions,
importance inflation, tag injection, provenance tagging
- Recall path: poisoned memory filtered, external-source confidence boost,
legacy memory flagged, clean recall passes
All tests are offline — no LLM, no network, no database.
Async checks run via asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete().
