/**
 * input_perturbation.test.ts
 * Doctrine v6 R3 — Vertical Governance Receipts
 * 10 Input Perturbation adversarial tests
 *
 * Tests the policy loader and validator against adversarial input manipulations:
 * whitespace injection, Unicode normalization attacks, null byte injection,
 * numeric overflow, deeply nested structures, and YAML/JSON escape attacks.
 *
 * All perturbations must be detected and result in validation failure or
 * safe error handling (never silent acceptance of corrupted state).
 *
 * Test framework: Jest / ts-jest
 * Run: npx jest tests/adversarial/input_perturbation.test.ts
