an XML document that declares an external entity, which a downstream XML parser with
external-entity resolution enabled will dereference — disclosing local files or
issuing outbound (SSRF-style) requests. The patterns target external/parameter
entity declarations, the DOCTYPE-with-internal-subset that carries them, and XInclude
directives that load external resources. XInclude detection covers the conventional ``xi``
prefix and unprefixed elements with an explicit XInclude namespace on the same tag.
These are XXE exploitation markers, not ordinary XML.

that carries them, and XInclude directives that load external resources. XInclude detection
covers the conventional ``xi`` prefix and unprefixed elements with an explicit XInclude
namespace on the same tag. These are XXE exploitation markers, not ordinary XML.
No LLM call is required, so it is cheap enough for batch evaluation and CI gates.

Returns True if any pattern matches.
