      <description>A client-side proxy that swaps detected PII for locally generated, type-consistent surrogate values before a prompt leaves your device, then restores the originals in the response. Its three-stage detection cascade scores 98.87% F1 across 22 PII types and beats placeholder redaction by 13.26 points in BERTScore semantic utility.</description>
