"""OFFSEC-003: tests for A2A peer-result sanitization.
Covers:
- Trust-boundary wrapping
- Boundary-marker injection escape (primary security control)
- Injection-pattern defense-in-depth
- Empty / None inputs
- Integration with tool_check_task_status output shapes
- Trust-boundary wrapping in callers (tool_delegate_task)
Note: ``sanitize_a2a_result`` is a pure escaper. Trust-boundary wrapping
is handled by callers (``tool_delegate_task``, ``read_delegation_results``)
