| scenario_generator.py — Parameterised scenario generator for PromptInjectionTriageEnv. |
| |
| Generates 1,152 unique injection scenarios from the cross-product of: |
| 12 legitimate context templates |
| × 8 injection types |
| × 4 obfuscation strategies |
| × 3 placement methods |
| |
| Each combination is seeded so it's reproducible across runs. |
| An RL agent trained on this environment must learn GENERALISED detection — |
| it cannot memorise answers for 3 fixed scenarios. |
| |
| Usage: |

| gen = ScenarioGenerator() |
| scenario = gen.generate(task_id="easy_direct_override", seed=42) |
| # scenario.target_input — text to present to agent |
