"""
Red team tests — Prompt Injection.
Ports TestPromptInjectionDirect, TestEncodingEvasion, TestUnicodeSmuggling,
and TestCrescendoAttack from the Zugabot test suite.
Coverage:
- Direct injection (classic, system override, DAN, developer mode, etc.)
- Encoding evasion (base64, nested base64, hex, ROT13)
- Unicode smuggling (homoglyphs, invisible chars, RTL override, tag chars)
- Multi-turn crescendo escalation
All tests are offline — no LLM, no network, no database.
Async checks run via asyncio.get_event_loop().run_until_complete().
