+Law 7 says origins travel and only reviewed text instructs, and

+labelled non-authoritative, every line quoted. A runtime written in
+TypeScript puts an MCP server's prose or an A2A reply in front of a model
+too, and a transcript should read the same whichever runtime ran it, so
+`adapters/typescript/src/fence.ts` ports `quarantined`, `is_quarantined` and

+over every line boundary `str.splitlines` reads, a forged fence and heading,
+an empty text, trailing blank lines and non-ASCII text.
