/**
* Sanitize untrusted strings before embedding them into an LLM prompt.
*
* Threat model (OC-19): attacker-controlled directory names (or other runtime strings)
* that contain newline/control characters can break prompt structure and inject
* arbitrary instructions.
*
* Strategy (Option 3 hardening):
* - Strip Unicode "control" (Cc) + "format" (Cf) characters (includes CR/LF/NUL, bidi marks, zero-width chars).
* - Strip explicit line/paragraph separators (Zl/Zp): U+2028/U+2029.
*
* Notes:
* - This is intentionally lossy; it trades edge-case path fidelity for prompt integrity.
* - If you need lossless representation, escape instead of stripping.
