Report #13429

[agent\_craft] Requests to hardcode API keys, passwords, or credentials

Refuse to hardcode credentials. Suggest using environment variables, secret managers, or configuration files excluded from version control.

Journey Context:
Hardcoding secrets is a massive security risk. While the user might just want a quick test script, agents must prioritize secure defaults. Refusing the hardcode and providing the secure pattern \(env vars\) is the only acceptable path to prevent accidental credential leakage.
