fix(security): delete the dead ML layers — transcript classifier and DeBERTa ensemble

The L4b Haiku transcript classifier and the opt-in DeBERTa ensemble (GSTACK_SECURITY_ENSEMBLE=deberta, a documented 721MB download) had ZERO production callers since the chat-path agent that invoked them was ripped. The only live ML path is scanPageContent (testsavant) inside the security sidecar subprocess. Deleted by import graph: - security-classifier.ts 614 -> 265 lines: HAIKU_MODEL, checkTranscript, shouldRunTranscriptCheck, loadDeberta, scanPageContentDeberta, ToolCallInput, all DEBERTA_* consts + load state. Header now states the live truth (imported only by security-sidecar-entry.ts). downloadFile kept, name intact — it is an enumerated egress sink (HF model download). - security-bunnative.ts + test: a research skeleton self-described as 'NOT a production replacement', shipped into src/ with zero importers. - security-bench-ensemble{,-live}.test.ts + the Haiku response fixture: a paid live-model benchmark for a layer that could not fire. The security-classifier-tdz test's only case exercised checkTranscript — gone. - security.ts: layer-model header rewritten to the live architecture; StatusDetail.layers -> {testsavant, canary}; getStatus() no longer requires the impossible transcript==='ok' for 'protected' (old on-disk session state with a transcript key is tolerated on read, never re-emitted). - security-sidecar-entry.ts needed zero changes: it serializes getClassifierStatus() verbatim and no consumer read .transcript (verified in sidecar-client + server.ts). - BROWSER.md security section matches reality (ensemble knob gone, 112MB not 22MB, sidecar hosting documented). combineVerdict/THRESHOLDS retained as the pure, tested combiner of record — comments now flag transcript/deberta votes as producer-less. Net: 26 pass in security.test.ts incl. a NEW regression test for stale- transcript disk tolerance; egress-receipt tripwire green. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

 ## Security stack

-Layered defense against prompt injection. Every layer runs synchronously on
-every user message and every tool output that could carry untrusted content
-(Read, Glob, Grep, WebFetch, page text from `$B`).
+Layered defense against prompt injection on untrusted page content.

 | Layer | Module | Lives in |
 |-------|--------|----------|
-| **L1** Datamarking | `content-security.ts` | both server + sidebar agent |
-| **L2** Hidden-element strip | `content-security.ts` | both |
-| **L3** ARIA + URL blocklist + envelope wrapping | `content-security.ts` | both |
-| **L4** TestSavantAI ML classifier (22MB ONNX) | `security-classifier.ts` | sidebar-agent only* |
-| **L4b** Claude Haiku transcript check | `security-classifier.ts` | sidebar-agent only |
-| **L5** Canary token (session-exfil detection) | `security.ts` | both — inject in compiled, check in agent |
-| **L6** `combineVerdict` ensemble | `security.ts` | both |
+| **L1** Datamarking | `content-security.ts` | server + page-content read path |
+| **L2** Hidden-element strip | `content-security.ts` | server + page-content read path |
+| **L3** ARIA + URL blocklist + envelope wrapping | `content-security.ts` | server + page-content read path |

+| Canary token utilities | `security.ts` | pure functions — no live injector today |

 \* `security-classifier.ts` cannot be imported from the compiled browse
 binary — `@huggingface/transformers` v4 requires `onnxruntime-node` which
 fails to `dlopen` from Bun compile's temp extract dir. The compiled binary
-runs L1–L3, L5, L6 only.
+runs L1–L3 plus the pure parts of `security.ts`; L4 runs in a plain-Node
+sidecar (`security-sidecar-entry.ts`, spawned lazily by
+`security-sidecar-client.ts` on the first `/pty-inject-scan`).

 ### Thresholds

 - `BLOCK: 0.85` — single-layer score that would cause BLOCK if cross-confirmed
- `WARN: 0.75` — cross-confirm threshold. When L4 AND L4b both >= 0.75 → BLOCK
- `LOG_ONLY: 0.40` — gates transcript classifier (skip Haiku when all layers < 0.40)
+- `WARN: 0.75` — cross-confirm threshold in `combineVerdict`
+- `LOG_ONLY: 0.40` — log-only floor
 - `SOLO_CONTENT_BLOCK: 0.92` — single-layer threshold for label-less content classifiers

 ### Ensemble rule

-BLOCK only when the ML content classifier AND the transcript classifier both
-report >= WARN. Single-layer high confidence degrades to WARN — this is the
-Stack Overflow instruction-writing FP mitigation. **Canary leak always
-BLOCKs (deterministic).**
+`combineVerdict` retains multi-layer ensemble semantics (2-of-N block votes;
+single-layer high confidence degrades to WARN — the Stack Overflow
+instruction-writing FP mitigation), but only L4 (testsavant) is live today:
+the Haiku transcript and DeBERTa ensemble layers were removed along with the
+sidebar chat pipeline that hosted them. **Canary leak always BLOCKs
+(deterministic).**

 ### Env knobs

- *
- * Currently shipped:
- *   * WordPiece tokenizer using the HF tokenizer.json format (pure JS,
- *     no dependencies). Produces the same input_ids as the transformers.js
- *     tokenizer for BERT-small vocab.
- *   * Benchmark harness that times end-to-end classification:
- *       bench('wasm', n) — current path (@huggingface/transformers)
- *       bench('bun-native', n) — THIS FILE (stub — delegates to WASM for now)
- *     Produces p50/p95/p99 latencies for comparison.
- *
- * NOT yet shipped (tracked in docs/designs/BUN_NATIVE_INFERENCE.md):
- *   * Pure-TS forward pass (embedding lookup, 12 transformer layers,
- *     classifier head). Requires careful numerics — multi-week work.
- *   * Bun FFI + Apple Accelerate cblas_sgemm integration for macOS
- *     native matmul (~0.5ms per 768x768 matmul on M-series).
- *   * Correctness verification — must match onnxruntime outputs within
- *     float epsilon across a regression fixture set.
- *
- * Why keep the stub? Pins the interface so production callers can start
- * wiring against `classify()` today and swap to native once the full

- * Runs the 200-case smoke through the full ensemble with real Haiku calls.
- * Measures detection + FP rates at the ENSEMBLE level (not just L4 like
- * security-bench.test.ts).
- *
- * Opt-in: only runs when `GSTACK_BENCH_ENSEMBLE=1` is set. Otherwise the
- * whole suite is skipped (too slow + costs money for regular `bun test`).
- *
- * Cost: ~200 Haiku calls ≈ $0.10, ~5 min wallclock.
- *
- * On success this writes:
- *   - browse/test/fixtures/security-bench-haiku-responses.json (fixture
- *     consumed by the CI-gate test security-bench-ensemble.test.ts)
- *   - ~/.gstack-dev/evals/security-bench-ensemble-{timestamp}.json (per-run
- *     audit record with TP/FN/FP/TN + Wilson 95% CIs + knob state)
- *
- * Stop-loss iterations: when detection or FP fails the gate, set
- * `GSTACK_BENCH_STOP_LOSS_ITER=N` where N in {1,2,3}. The bench writes to
- * stop-loss-iter-N-{timestamp}.json and does NOT overwrite the canonical
- * fixture — only the accepted final iteration gets committed.
- *
- * Run: GSTACK_BENCH_ENSEMBLE=1 bun test browse/test/security-bench-ensemble-live.test.ts
