"""Security regression tests.

This file deliberately encodes both **what the tool defends against** and
**what it explicitly does NOT defend against**. Tests in the second
category use ``pytest.xfail`` (or assert that an attempt *succeeds*) so
that the contract is documented in code: ``ShellPolicy`` is a UX
pre-filter for operator-supplied patterns, not a security boundary, and
the actual boundary is approval-in-the-loop + sandbox tier.

If a future change tightens defenses such that an xfail becomes a real
pass, that is intentional improvement — but the test name and docstring
should still describe the residual risk class.
