How do Insanity tokens and the Void Seeders Contamination check work in Lockdown?

Several players agree; there is no official ruling.

Add one Insanity token per player, in their colour, to the Intruder bag at setup (Void Seeders setup step 18; the Lockdown Stretch Goals setup omits it, and players report the Lockdown FAQ later corrected this). An INFECTED scan during Rest, Shower Room or Canteen sets your Insanity to 5. At game end there is no scanning: each Contamination card in your deck, hand and discard raises Insanity by 1 (to a maximum of 5, no death), then a Character at 5 reshuffles, draws 4 cards and dies if any is a Contamination card. One player concludes Insanity cannot be researched in the Lockdown Laboratory.
