Report #13954

[agent\_craft] Agent is asked to debug an authentication issue and prints environment variables containing API keys to the console or chat

Redact known secret patterns like AWS keys or tokens in the agent's output stream before displaying to the user. Never read secrets into the context window unless strictly necessary for the immediate tool call.

Journey Context:
Coding agents often need to handle configurations. If a user says 'why isn't my .env working?', the agent might cat the file. Redaction at the output boundary prevents accidental leakage of sensitive information that could be logged or stored in chat history.
