//! # Prompt Validator
//!
//! Schema-based prompt validation and injection detection.
//!
//! ## Example
//!
//! ```rust
//! use tokio_prompt_orchestrator::prompt_validator::{PromptValidator, ValidationRule};
//!
//! let validator = PromptValidator::default();
//! let rules = vec![
//!     ValidationRule::MinTokens(5),
//!     ValidationRule::MaxTokens(1000),
//!     ValidationRule::InjectionSafe,
//! ];
//! let report = validator.validate("Write me a poem about autumn.", &rules);
//! assert!(report.passed);
//! assert!(report.safety_score > 0.5);
//! ```
