threshold for detection is a common property owned by evaluators for determining if a detector result is considered a hit.

Detectors that use an internal threshold should utilize it to scale the resulting detector score. The current code does not utilize this value.

The class structure in this probe does not match expectations. Classes that extend garak.probes.Probe are each considered a unique executable probe. In the current implementation this class would produce:

probes.jailbreakv.JailbreakV
probes.jailbreakv.JailbreakVText
probes.jailbreakv.JailbreakVImage

The implementation however creates duplication as probes.jailbreakv.JailbreakV looks to be the superset of all probes in probes.jailbreakv.JailbreakVText and probes.jailbreakv.JailbreakVImage. If a user were to run:

garak -m nim.Vision -n some_vision_capable_model -p jailbreakv

The run would execute all three probes duplicating prompts as it executes.

To address this either the jailbreakv.JailbreakV class implementing the shared code should be a mixin that does not extend garak.probes.Probe exposing only probes.jailbreakv.JailbreakVText and probes.jailbreakv.JailbreakVImage for unique prompt sets, or the module should be reduced to a single probe that has DEFAULT_PARAMS to enable filtering and supported modality requirements.

While ensuring the file downloaded is some type of image is informative if there is some sort of failure to redirect or something, this does not validate the image content itself. I am not sure this the right way to validate the download. I think validation in this context would need to be a full checksum for the expected file content such as a sha256 sum or other hash validation of content.

This section can be removed if the full snapshot is dowloaded above. I see value in a guard encase the dataset was somehow corrupted, however if the dataset call above was successful all files should exist and there is no need do download them directly.

This would also remove the need for the helper method _download_image() by deferring the validation to huggingface code.
