Report #103989

[agent\_craft] User wants me to commit generated code that contains hardcoded secrets, API keys, or unsafe output

Stop and refuse to embed secrets, credentials, or tokens in source code or logs. Redirect to environment variables, secret managers, or runtime injection, and flag the unsafe pattern in the review.

Journey Context:
Agents frequently emit 'example' API keys, database passwords, or JWT secrets that users then paste into production. This is a classic OWASP LLM02 \(Sensitive Information Disclosure\) failure and also touches LLM05 \(Improper Output Handling\). NIST's GAI Profile emphasizes data privacy and secure component integration. The agent must not generate plausible-looking secrets even as placeholders, because humans copy-paste them. The fix is always externalize secrets and explain why.
