"""Runtime guard: RediSearch KNN against dangerous vs benign technical centroids.
Compares the user message embedding to the nearest dangerous-command centroid

benign (above threshold), reducing false positives from shared technical

Centralizes the guard's fail-mode policy: reads

default fail-open behavior) returns ``None`` and the message proceeds
unmodified. This keeps a RediSearch outage from silently disabling the

"""Classify a user message and return the safety warning suffix when it looks dangerous.
The guard's main entry point: embeds-comparison logic that decides whether to
append ``DANGEROUS_CMD_WARNING_SUFFIX`` to the current user turn. It runs a
RediSearch KNN of the precomputed *query_embedding* against the
dangerous-command centroids and, when the benign-technical index is populated,
against the benign centroids too, warning only when the message is closer to
danger than to benign (above ``dangerous_command_similarity_threshold`` and,
if set, beyond ``dangerous_command_benign_margin``). The benign comparison is
what suppresses false positives from shared technical vocabulary; when
``idx:benign_tech`` is empty it falls back to the backward-compatible
danger-only threshold.
It reads ``DANGEROUS_CMD_INDEX_NAME`` and ``BENIGN_TECH_INDEX_NAME`` from
Redis via :func:`redisearch_index_doc_count`,
:func:`knn_search_dangerous_cmds`, and :func:`knn_search_benign_tech`. Any
Redis or KNN failure is routed through :func:`_infra_fail_suffix` so the
configured fail-open/closed policy applies. On a real trigger it fires a
fire-and-forget ``dangerous_cmd_trigger`` observability event through the
nested ``_emit_trigger`` closure (which schedules
:func:`observability.publish_debug_event` as an ``asyncio`` task) and returns
the warning. Disabled or empty inputs short-circuit to ``None``.
Called by ``message_processor.generate_and_send`` while assembling the
inference request, and exercised by ``tests/test_dangerous_command_guard.py``
and ``tests/test_observability_classifier.py``; no other production callers
were found.
Args:
redis: Async Redis client backing the RediSearch indexes.
query_embedding: Precomputed embedding of the user message; ``None`` or
empty short-circuits to ``None``.
config: Config object supplying the enable flag, thresholds, margin, and
fail mode.
channel_id: Channel id, forwarded only into the observability event.
user_id: User id, forwarded only into the observability event.
request_id: Request id, forwarded only into the observability event.
Returns:
str | None: ``DANGEROUS_CMD_WARNING_SUFFIX`` when the message is judged
dangerous (or under a fail-closed infrastructure error), otherwise
``None``.

The published event has type ``dangerous_cmd_trigger``, source
``classifiers``, status ``triggered``, a ``preview`` summarizing the

debug event is the side effect; this closure returns ``None`` and is
invoked only after the message has already been classified as dangerous.
