Adversarial coverage for reflection removal.
Two independent mechanisms exist and the non-SQL engines rely on BOTH:
lib.core.common.removeReflectiveValues - the scan-wide heuristic. Powerful (it reassembles a payload
that the page broke apart) but it has global state and
SWITCHES ITSELF OFF: after REFLECTIVE_MISS_THRESHOLD misses,
after a regex timeout, and during heuristic mode.
lib.utils.nonsql.stripReflection - a plain deterministic removal with no global state, added
precisely because a detection guard must not stop guarding
halfway through a scan.
The tests below pin the behaviour of each, and - more importantly - pin the blind spots of the first one,
so nobody builds another guard on it without knowing where it does nothing.
stdlib unittest only (no pytest / no pip); works on Python 2.7 and 3.x.
