"""PostToolUse scanner: flag instruction-shaped text arriving in tool output.

Advisory only — never blocks a tool call, never rewrites its result. Subagent returns
already arrive wrapped in a notice of this shape; Bash, fetch and read results do not.
Patterns match a once-lowercased copy, which is several times faster than scanning the
original case-insensitively; only the uppercase directives need the original.

The harness's own files are full of these shapes, since they are where its rules, hooks and
settings are written, and they were most of what this flagged. Output read from them is not
flagged: a file tool or `Grep` whose path is under a managed location, or a Bash command made
only of plain readers (`READERS`), with no unquoted glob or brace, whose every existing path
operand, or the working directory when it names none, is under one. A managed location is the
harness checkout this hook runs from and every worktree that checkout's Git directory registers
(`trusted_roots`), the harness configuration folder, and the runtime files `sync` writes
(`MANAGED`). A folder is never trusted for what it holds: a repository can ship a lookalike
`policy/hooks` file and `bin/harness`, so only where this hook is installed decides. A `git`
command is a plain reader only when its read subcommand follows `git` directly and it names no
option that points Git at another repository or file (`GIT_OVERRIDES`). Anything else, a
substitution, a redirect, a network tool or a path outside them, is scanned as before.

Every match is one `neutralize-tool-output` row in the decision log: `warn`, or `excluded` for a
managed file, with the tool and the patterns that matched; the input is the tool's name.
