fix(web_chat): show a prompt-screen refusal as a security hold - #8566
When the prompt-injection screen holds a web-chat turn, the chat now says the security screen held the message, with source security, instead of "Something went wrong. Please try again." blamed on the provider.
New prompt_screened chat-error row, translated in every app locale.
Problem
The session guard (session_host/runtime/run_loop.rs: "Prompt blocked by security policy." / "Prompt flagged for security review and was not processed.") and the hosted gate (agent/tinyagents/host/security_gate_impl.rs: "Content from '…' was rejected by the prompt-injection screen …") refuse the turn before the model is called.
web_errors/classify.rs#classify_inference_error had no arm for these texts, so they fell through to the generic inference row: chat_error.inference, source provider. Users were sent to their model settings for a message the model never saw; when the security module was unavailable, every message showed this.
Found by the TinySecurity E2E review: TS-E2E-014 (S3).
Solution
classify.rs: is_prompt_screen_refusal matches the host's own three refusal texts and is the first arm of the ladder. The texts are the host's, so they cannot collide with an upstream provider error.
failure_copy/table.rs: FailureClass::PromptScreened → HostDefined("prompt_screened") row: copy key chat_error.prompt_screened, error type prompt_screened, source security, retryable. The copy says what to remove and that a restart helps when ordinary messages are held.
chat_error.prompt_screened added to all 16 app/src/lib/i18n/*.ts locales; chat_error_catalog.rs regenerated with pnpm i18n:chat-errors:generate.
Submission Checklist
Tests added or updated (happy path + at least one failure / edge case) per Testing Strategy: web_chat/web_tests_prompt_screen_classification_tests.rs#prompt_screen_refusals_are_not_reported_as_provider_failures covers all three refusal texts; the existing classification tests cover the provider rows staying unchanged.
Diff coverage ≥ 80%: the new classifier arm and row are covered by the new test. CI's diff-cover decides.
N/A: no feature row added, removed or renamed in docs/TEST-COVERAGE-MATRIX.md; this changes one error's copy.
N/A: no matrix feature IDs affected; the related review finding is listed under Related.
No new external network dependencies introduced.
N/A: no release-cut surface changes (docs/RELEASE-MANUAL-SMOKE.md).
N/A: no GitHub issue tracks this. It is TinySecurity E2E review finding TS-E2E-014.
Tests and red control
New test prompt_screen_refusals_are_not_reported_as_provider_failures: each refusal text must classify to error type prompt_screened, source security, copy key chat_error.prompt_screened, retryable, no provider.
Red control: the test commit alone (37df6f8b33, on main) fails: the first text classifies to inference instead of prompt_screened. With the fix, the test passes.

The layout, clippy and web_chat:: reds are on main too, in files this PR doesn't touch. In the parallel web_chat:: run one ingress guardrail test failed only here, and two other tests failed only on main. The guardrail test calls the TinySecurity prompt screen under a 2-second budget and never reaches the error classifier. Run alone, it passes on both commits.
Impact
Desktop and web chat: a held message shows the security-screen copy, in the user's language, with a security source; it stays retryable. All other chat errors are unchanged.
No migration, no wire change: error_type/source are existing string fields, and the renderer resolves the new copy key from the catalog.

Behavior Changes
Intended behavior change: a turn held by the prompt-injection screen is reported as prompt_screened (source security) instead of a provider inference failure.
User-visible effect: the held-message copy replaces "Something went wrong".
Parity Contract
Legacy behavior preserved: every other classifier arm and its copy.
Guard/fallback/dispatch parity checks: the new arm matches only the host's own refusal texts and runs first; provider error texts never contain them.

Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Prompt-screened messages now show a clear notice explaining they weren’t sent to the model, with guidance on removing quoted assistant-directed instructions and retrying. If ordinary messages are also screened, the notice recommends restarting OpenHuman.
These cases are identified as retryable security-screening issues rather than provider failures, and the notice is available in all supported languages.
… failures
Red control for TS-E2E-014: the host's three prompt-screen refusal texts (the
session guard's blocked and held messages, and the hosted gate's rejection)
must classify to a dedicated prompt_screened row with a security source. On
main they fall through to the generic inference row, 'Something went wrong'
with the provider as the source.
When the prompt-injection screen held a web-chat turn (an injection, or the
security module unable to answer), the refusal text fell through the chat
error ladder to the generic inference row. The user saw "Something went
wrong. Please try again." with error_source provider, and the model was
never called.
The classifier now recognises the host's own refusal texts and returns a
prompt_screened row (source security, retryable) whose copy says the message
was held by the security screen, what to remove, and that a restart helps
when ordinary messages are held. The copy is translated in every app locale.
Fixes TS-E2E-014.

Diagnostics and supporting details
Full summary
Pull request purpose (title): fix(web_chat): show a prompt-screen refusal as a security hold. Per the whole-pull-request description, `classify_inference_error` had no arm for the host's own prompt-screen refusal texts, so a held turn fell through to the generic inference row (chat_error.inference, source provider), pointing users at model settings for a message the model never saw. The tests, commits, and description lanes answered with no findings; the tests lane notes the new tests pin both the positive classification and the guard against a provider body quoting the same words. No latest-push delta was available, so the whole-pull-request diff is described, not a push delta.

Completeness: Incomplete Test assessment: Test coverage is assessed from changed tests and lane evidence; execution is not claimed without trusted check data.
What changed
The `chat_error.prompt_screened` string is added to all 16 app locales and mirrored into the generated `chat_error_catalog.rs` in the same locale order as neighbouring keys. A new sibling test module is registered from `web_tests.rs`, and `docs/gitbooks/en/developing/architecture/agent-harness.md` documents the new `error_type`/`error_source`/`copy_key` for a post-`start_chat` screen hold. All other classifier arms and their copy are unchanged per the description's parity claim.
Features
None identified with supported citations.
Tests
unit — A provider's own error body that quotes the screen text (e.g.: The tests lane answered and describes this as the guard against a provider body quoting the same words, backed by the `provider.is_none()` gate in the classifier; it found nothing reportable.

Conclusion: Success

Positive: The tests lane answered and found nothing reportable, describing the two new tests as pinning both the positive classification and the guard against a provider body quoting the same words, and noting the new catalog key is covered by the existing per-locale completeness test.
Lane summary: This revision adds a dedicated `prompt_screened` failure class, its copy in all 16 locales plus the Rust catalog, and a classifier arm gated on `provider.is_none()`, backed by two new tests in `web_tests_prompt_screen_classification_tests.rs` that pin both the positive classification (error_type, source, copy_key, retryable, provider) and the guard against a provider body quoting the same words. The tests would fail if the classifier arm or the copy row regressed, and the new catalog key is covered by the existing per-locale completeness test; I found nothing reportable. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `8ebc9cde619c`), so retrieved context may be out of date._

description
Conclusion: Success
Scope reviewed: all assigned evidence
Lane summary: The commits add `chat_error.prompt_screened` to the remaining app locales (completing all 16), regenerate `chat_error_catalog.rs` in the same locale order as neighbouring keys with matching text, add the `PromptScreened` failure class and `prompt_screened` row (source `security`, retryable), gate the new classifier arm on `provider.is_none()` behind the existing `errorCode` branch, register the sibling `#[path]` test module, and document the new `error_type` in the agent-harness guide. The description's claims about the copy key, classifier arm, catalog regeneration, new tests, and locales match the diff; I found nothing that would fail or misbehave for a reachable input. _The code index is behind this pull request (indexed at `8ebc9cde619c`), so retrieved context may be out of date._
The change adds prompt-screen refusal classification to web chat and provides retryable security-failure copy in supported locales. It also updates the architecture documentation to describe the new error type.

Review follow-ups on the prompt_screened row:
- The host refusal texts are matched only on an error that names no
provider. A BYO or OpenAI-compatible provider's error body can carry the
same words, and that is the provider's refusal: it keeps its provider and
copy instead of OpenHuman's security-screen copy.
- prompt_screened and the security source are added to the documented
error_type and source tokens, and the harness doc describes the event.
- The Turkish copy advises removing only quoted assistant instructions, as
the other locales do, so the user's own request is kept.
