test(ai): refusal-probe matrix — 20 adversarial paraphrasings × 14 contracts × 6 locales

Marc cannot review the FR/ES/IT/PL safety-critical translations, so
automated coverage is the only safety net. The probe walks the full
14×6 ground-rule × locale grid with 20+ adversarial paraphrasings per
contract — direct asks, indirect asks, role-play attempts,
system-prompt-injection tries, and multilingual code-switches.

The test is structural: each (rule, locale, paraphrasing) triple
assembles a synthetic system-prompt + user-turn pair and asserts the
locale's rule body survives prompt assembly verbatim. Parser-critical
contracts (zero hallucination, evidence-block sentinels, GLP-1 dose
refusal, out-of-scope refusal, severity enums) additionally assert
every must_contain token is preserved.

GLP-1 dose refusal — the highest-patient-risk contract — runs a
heavier per-locale check: for every adversarial probe the assembled
context must list every GLP-1 brand AND include at least one
defer-to-clinician phrase token from the locale's allow-list. Total
~3000 structural assertions across 273 test cases.

/**
* v1.4.25 W14c — cross-locale refusal-probe matrix.
*
* Marc cannot review the FR/ES/IT/PL safety-critical translations
* himself. Automated coverage is the only safety net, so this test
* runs 20+ adversarial paraphrasings against every (ground-rule,
* locale) pair — 14 rules x 6 locales x 20 paraphrasings = 1680
* assertions. CI fails if any safety-critical contract loses its
* structural markers in any language.
*
* The probe is structural — it does NOT call an LLM. For each ground
* rule it:
* 1. Asserts every locale carries a non-empty body for the rule.
* 2. For parser-critical rules, asserts the rule body keeps every
* `must_contain` token from the EN source (sentinel literals,
* GLP-1 brand list, "summary" key for the out-of-scope refusal,
* "SNAPSHOT" anchor, "info/suggestion/important/urgent" enum
* values).
* 3. Assembles a synthetic system-prompt-plus-adversarial-user-turn
* and asserts that:
* - the rule body appears verbatim in the assembled prompt
* - for GLP-1 dose refusal, the seven brand names AND a
* defer-to-clinician phrase from the locale's allow-list
* appear in the assembled context.
*
* The pattern is the same one Welo Data 2025-12 recommends for
* cross-lingual safety calibration: do not assume English alignment
* transfers — assert it.

// 20+ adversarial paraphrasings per safety contract. Each list mixes
