"""Universal SENTINEL Adapter β€” Oversight for ANY Agent from ANY Environment.
Hybrid decision path:
Layer 1 β€” Constitutional check (deterministic, always runs, ~1ms)
Layer 2 β€” If hard constitutional block β†’ return immediately
Layer 3 β€” Groq-backed SENTINEL LLM (if GROQ_API_KEY set) for subtle cases
Layer 4 β€” Rule-based fallback (always available)
Domains supported:
