      <description>garak v0.16.0 adds intent/technique-aware scanning, a native Anthropic generator, and an adaptive attacks probe
• Adds a unified `run.spec` selection grammar that combines probe, buff, and intent selection into a single specification, replacing separate `probe_spec` and `buff_spec` config keys.
• Introduces `IntentProbe` — a new probe base class enabling context-aware scanning that maps attack techniques to intents and automatically selects detectors based on intent mappings.
• Adds `probe_summary` entries and an enriched `technique_intent_matrix` (with names and descriptions) to `report.jsonl` output, providing a new facet of per-probe and cross-technique/intent reporting.
• Adds a native Anthropic generator plugin, enabling direct scanning of Anthropic Claude models without going through a compatibility shim.
• Adds `suppressed_params` support to the `BedrockGenerator`, allowing callers to exclude specific inference parameters from AWS Bedrock requests.
• Adds Unicode normalisation to `StringDetector` to improve detection consistency across text encodings.
• Hardens `web_injection` markdown exfiltration detectors against domain, extension, and parameter evasion.
Breaking changes:
• `probe_spec` and `buff_spec` configuration keys move into the `run` definition as part of the new unified spec; existing config files using top-level `probe_spec` or `buff_spec` will break.
• CLI plugin selection options for probes and buffs are now deprecated (backwards-compatible aliases remain, but dependence on the old forms should be migrated).
• `report.jsonl` output structure changes: new `probe_summary` entry type added, `digest` format expanded, and older `digest` values tied to the removed `*_spec` configuration keys are no longer emitted.</description>
