"""Constitutional safety harness + red-team range scaffold. The hard architectural primitives are (a) the layered pipeline where each safety stage can independently block, and (b) the red-team scheduler that runs multiple attack families and scores successes by CVSS. This scaffold implements both with stubbed classifiers so you can see the block/pass dynamics end to end.
