-/**
- * Text safety utilities for issue #247.
- *
- * Defends against Unicode-based visual spoofing attacks in externally-supplied
- * strings (solver names, address-adjacent display text) by stripping:
- *
- *   1. Bidirectional control characters (U+202A–U+202E, U+2066–U+2069)
- *      These can cause text to render right-to-left in the middle of a
- *      left-to-right string, making e.g. "trustworthy" appear as something
- *      else to a human reader while the underlying bytes differ.
- *
- *   2. Zero-width and invisible characters (U+200B–U+200D, U+FEFF, U+00AD)
- *      These are imperceptible to a reader but allow two visually identical
- *      strings to have different byte sequences — a classic "address
- *      poisoning" technique in crypto UIs.
- *
- * What we do NOT strip:
- *   • Non-Latin scripts (Arabic, CJK, Cyrillic, etc.) — a solver name in
- *     any script is legitimate.  We target control and invisible code points
- *     only, never visible characters from any Unicode block.
- *   • Regular whitespace, punctuation, or numeric characters.
- *
- * Stellar public keys (G-strkeys, 56-char base32) are validated structurally
- * by `isValidStellarPublicKey` before display, so the confusable-character
- * risk is limited to the address-adjacent free-text fields (solver names,
- * future memo fields).  We still run sanitisation on displayed address strings
- * as a defence-in-depth measure.
- *
- * The sanitisation strips rather than flags dangerous characters because:
- *   • There is essentially no legitimate use of bidi overrides or zero-width
- *     characters in solver names or Stellar addresses.
- *   • Stripping is silent and user-friendly; flagging would require UI changes
- *     in every consumer and could cause confusing error messages for benign input.
- *
- * Issue #476 additions:
- *   • `normalizeCommentText` — Unicode NFC normalisation + newline/whitespace
- *     canonicalisation used before hashing comment text for signature
- *     verification.  Both the signer and the verifier must hash the exact same
- *     canonical bytes, so this is the single source of truth for the
- *     "canonical message format" documented in docs/message-signing.md.
- *   • `COMMENT_MIN_LENGTH` / `COMMENT_MAX_LENGTH` — the enforced 1–2,000
- *     character bounds for proposal discussion comments.
- *   • `sanitizeCommentForDisplay` — strips dangerous Unicode and neutralises
- *     control characters before a comment is rendered through the safe
- *     Markdown subset.
