This is a fix for the harness, not the model.

As an analogy to SQL, this is like "fixing" SQL injections by having JS on the frontend escape/sanitise the values sent to the backend, while the backend does not use parameterised statements.

The harness is the front-end, the model is the backend. There is no way to currently fix the backend with parameterised prompts.

It's not even a fix for the harness, as the calling user account's permissions are usually still enough to exfiltrate or manipulate data. See also https://simonwillison.net/2025/Jun/16/the-lethal-trifecta/
