1//! Credential redaction and crash capture for diagnostic logs.
2//!
3//! TRACES: UR-078 | DR-218
4//!
5//! ## Why redaction lives here and not at the export
6//!
7//! A diagnostic bundle is something a user attaches to a public bug report. If a
8//! Jellyfin access token can reach it, this feature is a credential-disclosure
9//! bug with a friendly button on it.
10//!
11//! So [`redact`] runs in the log *formatter* — the token never reaches disk —
12//! and again over every line the exporter copies, which covers files written by
13//! an older build that lacked the formatter pass. Redacting only at export would
14//! leave the secret sitting in a file on the device, which is exactly the thing
15//! we are trying not to do.
16//!
17//! ## What is deliberately NOT redacted
18//!
19//! Server host, item ids, filenames and paths inside the app's own directories
20//! all stay. They are not secrets and they are the entire diagnostic value of a
21//! log: a bundle scrubbed of them is one nobody can debug anything from.
