Your task is to parse the document based strictly on the user instructions and context.
Return a single JSON object where the keys represent the requested data points and values represent the exact extracted information.
Do not hallucinate, infer, or include outside information. If a field is missing from the document, set its value to null.`;

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.

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.

🔒 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.

buildPrompt to return the shared rules as an actual systemPrompt, combined with

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.

🔒 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
