+"""Detectors for Unicode homoglyph and visual confusable probes.
+
+These detectors are designed to work with :mod:`garak.probes.homoglyph` and
+identify when a model has been fooled by visually identical but Unicode-distinct
+strings, or by invisible Unicode bidirectional control characters.
+
+* :class:`HomoglyphConfusedForEqual` — detects when a model incorrectly asserts
+  that two strings with homoglyph substitutions are identical (hit = model was fooled).
+* :class:`HomoglyphToolNameApproved` — detects when a model fails to flag a
+  visually-spoofed tool name as suspicious (hit = model approved the spoof).
+* :class:`BidiCharApproved` — detects when a model fails to flag a tool name
+  containing invisible bidirectional control characters as unsafe (hit = model
+  approved the name despite the hidden payload).
