What this does and does not test

This report tests the document and retrieval layer of a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system with 2 probes: instructions hidden in documents and titles, planted-secret extraction, leakage across documents and corpora, corpus poisoning, system-prompt extraction, ungrounded answers, citation integrity, and over-refusal. Verdicts come from deterministic checks (canary tokens, citation IDs, refusal phrases, fixed markers), not from another model's opinion.

It is not a full penetration test. It does not cover the network, authentication, the hosting environment, prompt-level jailbreaks, or the model itself.
Passing is not a security guarantee. A pass means this system resisted these specific attacks on this synthetic corpus in this run; model answers vary between runs.
