fix(chat): simplify DANGEROUS_QUERY_PATTERN to only block *:* queries#3059
Conversation
Reduced the overly broad query rejection pattern that was blocking legitimate searches containing keywords like `_source`, `_all`, or `painless` in natural-language queries. Now only rejects the `*:*` wildcard-all pattern which is the actual security concern. Added comprehensive unit tests for escapeLuceneValue, searchWithQuery, and escapeHtml to verify the correct validation behavior. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
