fix(security): expand safe_short_string redaction to cover password, private_key, credential - #74
Conversation
…private_key, credential
The redaction regex only matched api_key, token, and secret, missing
password, private_key, credential, passphrase, auth_code, and
access_key. This allowed sensitive values to leak in system map output.
Expand the regex to cover all sensitive key name categories that are
already handled by SECRET_PATTERNS in sandbox/output.py.
Before: safe_short_string('password=supersecret') = 'password=supersecret'
After: safe_short_string('password=supersecret') = 'password=[redacted]'

Thanks for the packet repair. Admin review now has this packet as valid, so this is no longer blocked on packet shape. The current blocker is security review. This PR cannot move to Mac Lab, merge readiness, or points until the security-sensitive behavior is redesigned or cleared. Agent prompt you can reuse: "Prepare this Spark competition PR for security review after packet repair. Preserve the valid packet, keep the branch focused, explain the security boundary, add safe bounded proof/tests, and avoid secrets, raw logs, raw patches, private paths, private repo maps, or private data." |

Spark Compete security-owner follow-up: more focused security proof is needed before this can move toward lab, merge, or points. This is public-safe process guidance only. It is not a rejection, approval, merge decision, gate waiver, or point promise. Passive review found this still needs contributor-side repair before deeper security-owner decisioning:
Security-sensitive surfaces seen in passive metadata/diff patterns: adds or changes secret handling. Copy/paste to your agent: Public points remain locked until packet, security, jury, duplicate, account/team, lab, merge/status, and scoring gates all clear. |
