From 07bed86347062be7c6197e7d5e7f17f8c5388475 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Utkarsh Pandey Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 18:26:11 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] test: add redaction edge case evaluations Expand the deterministic evaluation corpus with two redaction edge cases: a JWT and an AWS-style access key together in free-text log evidence, and a GitHub-style token with an inline password= assignment together in free-text log evidence. Both are held to the strict grounded, useful, safe, private, and honest rubric. Each case's secret-shaped values are assembled from split literal fragments at test time in evals/synthetic_secrets.py rather than stored as a contiguous string in any committed file, so a shape-based secret scanner has nothing to match. .gitguardian.yaml documents that the evaluation fixtures directory intentionally contains fabricated, non-functional secret-shaped values. Bumps the versioned corpus to 2026.07.4: 14 cases, 70 required checks.
