Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change adds indirect prompt-injection descriptions and payloads, updates attack-vector metadata for levels 1–3, preserves hardened level 4 behavior, and adds registry tests for payloads, localization, trusted goals, carriers, and security properties.

13-36: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert the per-level registry contract.
The tests verify only non-empty classifications and aggregate markers. They do not verify that the classification is exactly
VulnerabilityType.INDIRECT_PROMPT_INJECTION, or that each level uses its intended carrier and sensitive-data marker. A swapped carrier or misclassified vector can pass.Add an expectation map for Level 1 webpage/API key, Level 2 hidden-comment/deployment secret, and Level 3 multi-source/database password.

Use actual HTML-comment syntax for Level 2 payloads.
Lines 78-79 in locale/messages_us.properties use the visible label Hidden HTML comment: instead of <!--/-->. The Level 2 source loader only treats delimiters as hidden content in the fetched source_value, so these registry values test visible-text reference input rather than hidden-comment smuggling. Put the malicious instruction inside HTML comment delimiters and include closing delimiters for both Level 2 vectors.

What changed
Why
This implements #13. The existing indirect-injection annotations referenced payload keys that were not present in
messages_us.properties, so the UI displayed unresolved keys instead of actionable payloads.Each new payload states a trusted user goal and an unrelated instruction embedded in external content. This makes the lab's indirect-injection boundary explicit while keeping the examples aligned with the secrets and behavior of Levels 1-3.
