Policy Red-Team: break your agent's tool policy before an attacker does

Agent tool policies compare strings; tools act on what the string means. /srv/docs/../../etc/passwd starts with /srv/docs/; c''url runs curl; 2852039166 is the cloud metadata address. Red-Team generates these bypasses from your own policy, finds which get through, writes the smallest set of canonicalizations that closes them without blocking your must-allow calls, and has a second, independent implementation re-derive everything before it signs.

What PATCHED means. Red-Team closes the bypass families it knows. Today we showed that 12 real tricks outside those families got through a "PATCHED" policy; we added them. There will be others: treat PATCHED as "closed against the families listed on the families page", never as "safe".
