Summary

This PR salvages and re-implements the SHIELD Multilingual Defense system, providing robust protection against prompt injections and identifying user crisis signals.

Key Features

Multilingual Support: Detects jailbreak patterns in Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Hindi, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese.
Unicode Normalization: Catch homoglyph attacks (e.g., using Cyrillic lookalikes) and hidden zero-width character obfuscation.
Crisis Detection: Identifies signals of self-harm or despair across multiple languages and provides a Compassionate Compass (Safe Six) routing recommendation.
Input Sanitization: Hardens the input layer against 8+ categories of known jailbreak vectors (GODMODE, DAN, refusal inversion, etc.).

Files Included

tools/shield/detector.py: Core detection engine.
agent/shield.py: Agent-level wrapper for SHIELD.
agent/input_sanitizer.py: Advanced English-focused pattern scanning.
tests/test_shield_multilingual.py: Full test suite for multilingual and unicode attacks.

This addresses critical security gaps identified in the Red Team audits.
