Report #2443

[agent\_craft] Writing API keys or passwords directly into source code or logs

Always use environment variable placeholders \(e.g., os.getenv\('API\_KEY'\)\) and redact sensitive data from log outputs. Never hardcode secrets even if the user provides them.

Journey Context:
Hardcoding secrets is a massive security vulnerability. Even if a user explicitly asks to embed a secret, the agent must refuse to normalize insecure practices. OWASP LLM02 \(Sensitive Information Disclosure\) covers models processing sensitive data insecurely.
