Implement memory poisoning context attacks and enhance README documentation. Added functions for applying memory poisoning to user input and normalizing context attack configurations. Updated ChaosInterceptor to apply memory poisoning before invoking the wrapped adapter. Enhanced README to clarify CI/CD pipeline features and the distinction between OSS and Cloud capabilities.

+**Context attacks** are part of environment chaos: adversarial content is applied to **tool responses or to the input before invoke**, not to the user prompt itself. The chaos interceptor applies **memory_poisoning** to the user input before each invoke; LLM faults (timeout, truncated, empty, garbage, rate_limit, response_drift) are applied in the interceptor (timeout before the call, others after the response). Types: **indirect_injection** (tool returns valid-looking content with hidden instructions), **memory_poisoning** (payload into input before invoke; strategy `prepend` | `append` | `replace`), **system_prompt_leak_probe** (contract assertion using probe prompts). Config: list of attack configs or dict (e.g. `memory_poisoning: { payload: "...", strategy: "append" }`). Scenarios in the contract chaos matrix can each define `context_attacks`.

 ### Chaos engineering pillars
 
-- **Environment Chaos** — Inject faults into tools and LLMs (timeouts, errors, rate limits, malformed responses, built-in profiles). [→ Environment Chaos](docs/ENVIRONMENT_CHAOS.md)
-- **Behavioral Contracts** — Named invariants × chaos matrix; severity-weighted resilience score; optional reset for stateful agents. [→ Behavioral Contracts](docs/BEHAVIORAL_CONTRACTS.md)
-- **Replay Regression** — Import production failures (manual or LangSmith), replay deterministically, verify against contracts. [→ Replay Regression](docs/REPLAY_REGRESSION.md)
+- **Environment Chaos** — Inject faults into tools and LLMs (timeouts, errors, rate limits, malformed responses, built-in profiles). **Context attacks**: indirect_injection, memory_poisoning (input before invoke; strategy: prepend/append/replace), system_prompt_leak_probe; config as list or dict. [→ Environment Chaos](docs/ENVIRONMENT_CHAOS.md)
+- **Behavioral Contracts** — Named invariants × chaos matrix; severity-weighted resilience score. Optional **reset** per cell: `agent.reset_endpoint` (HTTP) or `agent.reset_function` (e.g. `myagent:reset_state`). **system_prompt_leak_probe**: use `probes` (list of prompts) on an invariant to run probe prompts and verify response (e.g. excludes_pattern). **behavior_unchanged**: baseline `auto` or manual. Stateful agents: warn if no reset and responses differ. [→ Behavioral Contracts](docs/BEHAVIORAL_CONTRACTS.md)
+- **Replay Regression** — Import production failures (manual or LangSmith), replay deterministically, verify against contracts. Sessions can reference a `file` or inline id/input; sources support LangSmith project/run with optional auto_import. [→ Replay Regression](docs/REPLAY_REGRESSION.md)

+- **Adversarial mutations** — 22+ mutation types (prompt-level and system/network-level); max 50 mutations per run in OSS. [→ Test Scenarios](docs/TEST_SCENARIOS.md)
 - **Invariants & assertions** — Deterministic checks, semantic similarity, safety (PII, refusal); configurable per contract.
 - **Robustness score** — For mutation runs: a single weighted score (0–1) of how well the agent handled adversarial prompts. Reported in HTML/JSON and CLI (`results.statistics.robustness_score`).
-- **Unified resilience score** — For full CI: weighted combination of **mutation robustness**, chaos resilience, contract compliance, and replay regression; configurable in YAML.
-- **Context attacks** — Indirect injection and memory poisoning (e.g. via tool responses). [→ Context Attacks](docs/CONTEXT_ATTACKS.md)
+- **Unified resilience score** — For full CI: weighted combination of **mutation robustness**, chaos resilience, contract compliance, and replay regression; weights (mutation, chaos, contract, replay) configurable in YAML and must sum to 1.0.

 ## Open Source vs Cloud
 
 **Open Source (Always Free):**
-- Core chaos engine with all 24 mutation types (no artificial feature gating)
+- Core chaos engine with all 22+ mutation types (max 50 per run; no artificial feature gating)
 - Local execution for fast experimentation
-- CI-friendly usage without external dependencies
+- Run from CLI or your own scripts (no native CI/CD; that’s Cloud only)
 - Full transparency and extensibility
 - Perfect for proofs-of-concept and development workflows
 
 **Cloud (In Progress / Waitlist):**
 - Zero-setup chaos testing (no Ollama, no local models)
+- **CI/CD** — native pipeline integrations, scheduled runs, reliability gates
 - Scalable runs (thousands of mutations)
 - Shared dashboards & reports
 - Team collaboration
-- Scheduled & continuous chaos runs
 - Production-grade reliability workflows
 
 **Our Philosophy:** We do not cripple the OSS version. Cloud exists to remove operational pain, not to lock features. Open source proves the value; cloud delivers production-grade chaos engineering at scale.
