Scriptorium agents routinely read documents they did not write — manuscripts, web pages, repositories. These are treated as data to analyze, never as instructions to follow. An agent that encounters embedded directives in a source ("ignore your rules and …") should report them as a finding, not act on them.

The core/injection_scan engine operationalises this: an agent ingesting untrusted text can run it first, and any hit is a finding to report (never a directive to obey). It is a heuristic screen, not a solved guarantee — it flags known patterns for human review, and a clean scan does not prove a document is safe (novel injections evade fixed patterns). See tests/fixtures/adversarial/ for the tested corpus and LIMITATIONS.md.

The peer-reviewer path has no network tools and, where supported, runs network-isolated. This is an operational boundary that removes the normal egress paths — it is not encryption or a formally verified sandbox. Do not rely on it as the sole control for highly sensitive material; pair it with host-level controls.

Pre-1.0, only the latest tagged release receives fixes. Behavior may change between minor versions; see ROADMAP.md.

Open a GitHub issue for non-sensitive reports. For anything that should not be public (e.g. a way to make the reviewer path egress data), contact the maintainer privately via the email on the author's GitHub profile rather than filing a public issue. Please include a minimal reproduction and the affected version/commit.

Host compromise, the model backend's own data handling, OS telemetry, and supply-chain integrity of the user's wider environment are outside Scriptorium's control. Scriptorium secures its own components' behavior, not the surrounding system.
