"""Regression tests for prompt-injection audit findings. Three user-controlled surfaces were found to be concatenated directly into the trusted system role in _build_system_prompt: 1. email_writing_style setting (user-editable via settings UI) 2. Integration descriptions (user-editable via integrations API) 3. MCP tool descriptions (sourced from external MCP servers) The fix wraps each surface in untrusted_context_message(), placing it in a user-role message with metadata.trusted=False, matching the existing pattern for active documents, email context, and skills.
