- Around line 2-8: Update PromptOrchestrator.BASE_SYSTEM_PROMPT and the
schema-generation flows in DocumentInterpreter.buildSchemaPrompt and
buildAtomicSchemaExpansionPrompt so schema requests use task-specific,
schema-focused instructions rather than data-extraction wording. Keep data
extraction instructions scoped to the extraction path, and ensure schema
responses remain definitions compatible with sanitizeSchema.
- Around line 10-17: Update buildPrompt to return the shared rules as an actual
systemPrompt, combined with the task-specific system prompt, rather than
embedding BASE_SYSTEM_PROMPT in userPrompt. In the DocumentInterpreter and
DocumentLLMClient flow, preserve document context and table cells only in
userPrompt and wrap them with explicit untrusted-data delimiters so embedded
instructions or separators cannot redefine the task.
In `@server/src/workflow-management/classes/DocumentInterpreter.ts`:
- Around line 1432-1435: Update all three PromptOrchestrator builders, including
the flow around buildPrompt, so BASE_SYSTEM_PROMPT is returned separately as
systemPrompt rather than embedded in userPrompt. Keep documentContext and the
task prompt together only in a clearly delimited userPrompt, and update each
caller to pass the separated systemPrompt through
DocumentLLMClient.callStructuredJson.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Use task-specific base prompts for schema generation.
BASE_SYSTEM_PROMPT instructs the model to extract document values. DocumentInterpreter.buildSchemaPrompt and buildAtomicSchemaExpansionPrompt also use this prompt, although those methods must return schema definitions. The conflicting instructions can produce value-shaped output, which sanitizeSchema may interpret as incomplete string-only field definitions.
Keep the shared prompt task-neutral, or use separate base prompts for schema generation, schema expansion, and data extraction.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win
Send shared safety rules through the system message.
buildPrompt places BASE_SYSTEM_PROMPT inside the returned string. DocumentInterpreter passes that string as userPrompt, and DocumentLLMClient sends it with role: 'user' at Lines [868]-[870]. The document context is also interpolated as plain text without an untrusted-data boundary. A document can contain instruction-like text or the separator itself, causing the model to alter the requested schema or extracted data.
Return the shared rules as the actual systemPrompt, combined with each task-specific system prompt. Keep document text and table cells clearly delimited as untrusted data in userPrompt.

🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Keep the shared policy in the system message.
PromptOrchestrator.buildPrompt places BASE_SYSTEM_PROMPT, documentContext, and prompt into one string. DocumentLLMClient.callStructuredJson sends that string as userPrompt, so the shared policy is not a system instruction.
The document context is untrusted. A document can contain instruction-like text or fake delimiters. That text can compete with the shared policy and cause schema or extraction instructions to be ignored.
Change the orchestrator contract so the shared policy is passed as systemPrompt. Keep document data and task instructions in a separately delimited userPrompt. Apply the same contract to all three builders.
Also applies to: 1452-1461, 1483-1493

What does this PR do?
This PR introduces the Prompt-Wrapping Orchestration layer for Document Extract robots. It introduces a dedicated
PromptOrchestratorutility that sandboxes user input and enforces deterministic JSON extraction through a strict system boundary. It securely handles context from all four supported document types (PDF, DOCX, XLSX, CSV).Why are these changes necessary?
Previously, raw user instructions were passed directly to the LLM. This direct pass-through led to inconsistent outputs, schema mirroring, and hallucinations, particularly when running on smaller, local models.
Specific Changes Made
server/src/utils/prompt-orchestrator.ts: Created the foundational orchestrator class with a strictBASE_SYSTEM_PROMPTdesigned to explicitly prevent hallucinations and mandate pure JSON output.server/src/workflow-management/classes/DocumentInterpreter.ts:buildExtractionPromptto route context and instructions through the new orchestrator.buildSchemaPromptandbuildAtomicSchemaExpansionPrompt) with the orchestrator to prevent context leakage during setup.Screenshots / GIFs
