class PromptInjectionScorer(RegexScorer):
"""
A scorer that detects prompt injection attempts in text using regex patterns.

Covers OWASP LLM01 (Prompt Injection) sub-categories: instruction override,
system prompt extraction, jailbreak role-play, constraint removal, chat template
injection, and encoding-based evasion. Complements the API-based
PromptShieldScorer as a fast, local, zero-dependency pre-filter.

Returns True if any prompt injection pattern is found in the text.

Initialize the PromptInjectionScorer.

Args:
patterns (dict[str, str] | None): A mapping of pattern names to regex strings.
Defaults to a built-in set covering instruction override, system prompt
extraction, jailbreak, constraint removal, chat template injection, and
encoding evasion patterns. Pass a custom dict to override entirely.
score_aggregator (TrueFalseAggregatorFunc): The aggregator function to use.
Defaults to TrueFalseScoreAggregator.OR.

the RegexScorer base already does self._patterns = dict(patterns) in its init (regex_scorer.py#L50) so no shared mutation across instances — keeping it the same way CredentialLeakScorer does it.
