 Compatibility module for secrets_masker.
 
 This module provides backward compatibility for providers that still import
-from airflow.sdk.execution_time.secrets_masker. The actual implementation
-has been moved to airflow.sdk._shared.secrets_masker.
+from airflow.sdk.execution_time.secrets_masker. Most of the implementation
+has been moved to airflow.sdk._shared.secrets_masker, with one deliberate
+exception: ``mask_secret`` is re-exported from airflow.sdk.log instead.
+airflow.sdk.log.mask_secret masks the secret locally AND notifies the
+supervisor process; airflow.sdk._shared.secrets_masker.mask_secret only
+does the former, so importing 'mask_secret' from the _shared module instead
+would silently weaken masking under AIP-72 (the supervisor runs as a
+separate process).
