December 2024: Strengthened detection rules in sublime-rules to improve phishing and scam content protection. Delivered an enhanced Cyrillic link substitution rule that triggers when attachments exist but thread text is empty, catching unsolicited substitutions that previously could slip through.

Focused on risk reduction and maintainability with YAML-driven configuration updates.
