[MAJOR][Defect] Response redaction can corrupt JSON
File: filter.rs:466
If masked text expands the response, the serialized JSON is truncated to the committed Content-Length.
A legitimate "x" → "[REDACTED]" rewrite therefore returns malformed JSON with HTTP 200.
Detect growth and emit a valid length-fitting fail-closed response, or remove response rewriting until framing can be repaired.

i don't quite understand why we need an index in map_nemo_response. it seems like a placeholder to me - the index will always be 0 and we overwrite it in this function apply_slice_result. would it be possible to have map_nemo_response return content / reason instead and resolve the actual index within this function ?

Please set logprobs to null on every redacted choice. Rewriting only message.content leaves the original text recoverable through logprobs.content[]. Add a test with upstream logprobs and assert the original digits never appear in the client response.

Please fail closed when message content is a non-string value. Replacing an array with NeMo’s string drops image/file parts and can send base64 data as text. Add a request test with text plus image_url, and return a clear error instead of rewriting the array.

Please have the provider return a configured GuardResult so the tests reach both error paths. Add a request case where redact_message(0, ..) fails for a system-only body, plus a multi-thread response test using response_body_mode: StreamBuffer that verifies the body becomes the evaluation_failed error without the original text.

Correct the description of the modified response behavior.
The response phase checks each assistant choice as its own cumulative slice. The filter rewrites every modified choice, so the change is not limited to the "last assistant message." Line 12 should describe the actual behavior.

nparameter permits multiple choices. This filter accepts that request and extracts everychoices[].message, but the response selector evaluates onlymessages.first()and returns index0. Sensitive content in later choices can therefore bypass NeMo and reach the client unchanged. The example’s “last assistant message” description is also incorrect.Suggested fix

Nulling logprobs helps, but the original text is still in token_ids when a client sends return_token_ids: true to vLLM, and in message.reasoning on reasoning models. Could we rebuild the redacted choice from an allowlist (index, finish_reason, and a message with just role and the masked content)? That only shrinks the body, so it still fits. I think we need this before merging.

This refuses growth even when the upstream sent no Content-Length (chunked, or H2 without one), where nothing on the wire limits the length. So a Bob to <PERSON> mask on a large Ollama reply still turns into an evaluation_failed error. Could we note in on_response whether a Content-Length was sent, and only apply the no-growth rule and padding when it was?

The AiGuardrailsFilter rustdoc, and so docs/filters/ai_guardrails.md, still only describes modified for phase.tool_results. Let's add a sentence there for the request and response rewrites, including that a response rewrite that would grow the body comes back as a 200 evaluation_failed error, then regenerate the doc.

The CDN URL podman quotes in that reconnect error is presigned (...&X-Amz-Signature=...), and this matches anywhere in stderr, so the mid-blob EOF the loop exists for gets reported as a signature rejection and never retried.

Fold the shared upstream-gating predicate onto the chain level so every filter in the full-flow-agentic managed-responses chain inherits it, instead of repeating `unless: bound_upstream` on each filter. The effective gate for a filter becomes chain-condition AND filter-condition. - examples/configs/openai/responses/full-flow-agentic.yaml: inherit the shared condition on the managed-responses chain. - server/src/pipelines.rs, server/src/dump.rs, tests/utils/src/proxy.rs: fold chain-level conditions into each node at all three pipeline composition sites. - xtask flow graph/visualizers: render inherited conditions; add the inherited-gate test targeting the managed openai_responses_request. - docs: refresh generated flow-visualizer docs and project notes.

Summary
Add the missing NeMo "modified" path so ai_guardrails can mask PII and forward a sanitized chat body instead of only passing or blocking.
GuardResult::Redact and the "redacted" filter-result label already exist; record_verdict currently stubs redact and forwards the original body. This change maps "modified" plus the content field to Redact, rewrites the last user message in the buffered JSON via replace_json_body, and records status "redacted". Core still owns Content-Length framing; the filter does not set that header.
This is the smallest complete change: one provider mapping, one request-body rewrite, and the tests the repo requires. It does not add response-side evaluation, a new config schema, or N sequential /v1/checks calls.

Validation
Unit tests
cargo test -p praxis-ai-filters -- guardrails
Integration or functional tests
cargo test -p praxis-ai-integration-tests -- nemo_guardrails
make lint
Manual / backend-backed proof (optional): point examples/configs/nemo-guardrails.yaml at a TrustyAI /v1/checks endpoint, send a chat body with PII, and confirm the upstream receives the masked last user message while filter_results["ai_guardrails"]["status"] is "redacted".
Checklist
I reviewed every changed line and can explain the change.
New capabilities include an example config and functional example test.
User-facing behavior and generated documentation are updated.
Performance-sensitive changes include appropriate benchmark or load-test evidence.
Commits are signed and include a Signed-off-by trailer.
Breaking changes
None. Pass and block behavior is unchanged. Operators who want redaction must point the existing provider.endpoint at an endpoint that returns "modified" and content (TrustyAI /v1/checks). Missing content on "modified" fails closed.
