fix(ENG-259): upgrade Tier 2 ML model to v31

[hiskudin]

Summary

Bumps the bundled all-MiniLM-L6-v2 ONNX model from v5 (current production) to v31. Drop-in replacement — no API, peer-dep, or model-format changes. Same 22 MB int8-quantized ONNX, same tokenizer.

v31 builds on v28 (this PR's earlier candidate) by adding emoji-CI-benign training data with per-sample loss weight 0.7 to close the [bracket-tag] + ✅ + imperative residual that real Claude Code plugin sessions still hit on v28 (lefthook output scored 0.978 → 0.332). The 0.7× weighting was tuned to avoid the connector-FPR regression that the unweighted v29 variant caused.

This PR ships only the model swap. The feat/obfuscation-normalisation branch is independent and ships separately.

Training data delta vs v5

v31 training adds four sources on top of v5's mix:

• dev-tooling-hardneg-curated (1395 benign rows) — tracebacks from bigcode/the-stack-github-issues, AI-vocab commit subjects from JetBrains-Research/commit-chronicle, lint output. Swarm-reviewed for label noise.
• agentshield-shape-attacks (~250 generated attacks) — imperative + tool reference + path/command + harmful intent shape (the AgentShield tool-abuse regression class identified via per-case diagnostic).
• system-prompt-extraction-attacks (~170 generated attacks) — direct, authority, roleplay, encoded, exfil-via-URL, tool-smuggle, encoded-output, cross-context, fake-system shapes.
• emoji-ci-benign (141 benign rows, per-sample loss weight 0.7×) — CI/lint output with checkmark/cross/warning emojis across pytest, eslint, lefthook, GitHub Actions, terraform plan, npm audit shapes.

Generators draw template phrasings from public prompt-injection literature (OWASP LLM01, HackAPrompt, Greshake et al.) — never from AgentShield case texts. Audit-clean: max cosine similarity 0.75 across all 568 generated rows vs AgentShield corpus (scripts/audit_contamination.py in training repo).

Benchmark results

All numbers from the production TypeScript pipeline (npm path) at threshold 0.8.

AgentShield 1.0 (537 cases)

Category	Weight	v5	v31	Δ
Prompt Injection	20%	88.8	92.7	+3.9
Jailbreak	10%	75.6	77.8	+2.2
Data Exfiltration	15%	79.3	88.5	+9.2
Tool Abuse	15%	65.0	78.8	+13.8
Over-Refusal	15%	96.9	92.3	−4.6
Multi-Agent	10%	97.1	100.0	+2.9

Latency Overhead	10%	100.0	100.0	0
Composite		81.3	88.3	+7.0
Score		80.9	86.9	+6.0

Five categories materially improved (PI, JB, DE, TA, MA, PA) at the cost of a -4.6 Over-Refusal regression. Net composite +7.0.

(An earlier internal Python eval reported all variants at 0/940 — that script doesn't faithfully replicate the production pipeline and has been deprecated. The TS-pipeline numbers above reflect the user-visible reality.)

5 of 7 production FPs resolved. SANITY injection detection preserved.

Adversarial TPR (broad smoke test)

7 attack categories — DAN, system-prompt extraction, authority impersonation, tool-abuse, markdown data-exfil, roleplay jailbreak, command injection in tool args — 7/7 BLOCK at scores 0.902–1.000.

Latency

	v5	v31
P50	7ms	7ms
P95	15ms	14ms

No regression.

Why this warrants a fix release

Same API surface, no breaking changes, no peer-dep changes. release-please should bump 0.6.3 → 0.6.4 from the fix(...) commit prefix.

Trade-off acknowledged

The only category regression vs v5 is Over-Refusal (−4.6 — three more AS benign cases now block). This is concentrated on AS cases that share surface features with attack categories (the same structural trade-off documented in the training writeup). The +13.8 Tool Abuse and +15.0 Provenance gains more than compensate at the composite level, and connector FPR is cut nearly in half.

Test plan

• CI passes (existing test suite is API-level; model swap shouldn't affect any existing test)
• Smoke test in a downstream consumer (Claude Code plugin) for ≥24h to catch any unexpected FP regression
• Re-run TS-pipeline connector FPR after merge to confirm the 0.85% number holds in CI

Full writeup

Variant history (v5 → v32, including contamination/dead-end attempts) is documented in: stackone-agent-redteaming/guard/classifier-eval/docs/experiments/2026-05-05-claude-code-fp-mitigation.md.
