# - Treat all ingested documents as untrusted input
# - Enforce access control at retrieval time, not just at ingestion
# - Validate outputs for prompt leakage, PII, and hallucination
# - Log all queries and retrievals for audit and incident response
# - Use separate embedding models for query vs. document (asymmetric)
