+# infra#344: the allowlist that used to sit here is gone, and so is the reason
+# for it. It suppressed docs/superpowers/plans/2026-04-22-phase4-attempt-wiring.md
+# on the stated grounds that "extracted Secret == 'REDACTED' exactly ... the
+# placeholder text itself, not a real credential" (verified 2026-08-04). That was
+# not what the file contained: line 1054 carried a real 40-char hex Gitea PAT in
+# an `Authorization: token ...` header. Confirmed dead by side-effect — GET
+# /api/v1/user with it returns 401 — and redacted in that file, so there is now
+# nothing to allowlist.
+#
+# The `paths` entry also made the block far broader than its description: gitleaks
+# ORs global allowlist clauses and ignores `condition = "AND"`, so the whole file
+# was immune, not just lines matching /REDACTED/. A live token added to that doc
+# would have been suppressed on the strength of a note about a different value.
