Is there nightshade but for text and code? Maybe my source headers should include a bunch of special characters that then give a prompt injection. And sprinkle some nonsensical code comments before the real code comment.

Maybe like a bunch of white text at 2pt?

Not visible to the user, but fully readable by crawlers.

I think the issue is that text uses comparatively very little information, so you can't just inject invisible changes by changing the least insignificant bits - you'd need to change the actual phrasing/spelling of your text/code, and that'd be noticable.
