"""Tests for the tool-result message builder — focuses on the untrusted-content
delimiter wrapping that hardens against indirect prompt injection (#496).

Promptware defense: results from tools that fetch attacker-controllable content
(web_extract, browser_*, mcp_*) get wrapped in <untrusted_tool_result>…</…> so
the model treats them as data, not instructions. The wrapper is intentionally
NOT a regex scan — it's an unconditional architectural mark on every result
from a known-untrusted source.
