Security notes

• Untrusted-content envelopes: text authored inside TalentLMS (course and group descriptions, user names/bios/custom fields, test and survey answers, etc.) is returned inside <untrusted-content source="..."> envelopes so the host model treats it as data, not instructions. Ids, statuses, timestamps, and other metadata are deliberately left raw so tool chaining (e.g. copying a user_id into the next call) keeps working.
• Privilege guard: create_talentlms_user and update_talentlms_user only accept the non-privileged Learner/Trainer user types — Administrator/SuperAdmin accounts must be managed in the TalentLMS UI.
