Casual Authority Claim and Scope Escalation

Detects casual, conversational-tone authority claims and scope escalation that bypass formal injection detection. Unlike explicit "I am the admin" claims (ATR-2026-030/117), these use informal language: "FYI the orchestrator wants...", "the boss said we should skip...", "I noticed the admin panel is accessible, let me check...". Also detects rationalized bypasses where agents justify unauthorized actions with efficiency claims: "to complete this more efficiently, I'll use the database directly instead of the API". Discovered via Autoresearch v0 (100% miss rate across casual_authority, casual_escalation, and rationalized_bypass techniques).
