API key (dtn_)

dtn_ + exactly 64 lowercase hex, T1 as of v0.190.0 (2026-06-23) under ruling R9; the same generator mints region proxy, SSH-gateway and runner keys, which are lexically identical.

Beta.12 arrival family daytona-api-key (#464, product redact-secret#970), contract in benchmarks/lib/beta8/464a.ts from the #860 handoff daytona.md. T1 as of v0.190.0 (R9, dated provider code); provider code went private after that release. Neither pinned scanner has a Daytona rule. Since the 4fb7882 re-pin the product detector is in the pinned registry, so the row maps to it.

New pipelineAuthority

Built from the new pipeline

The new pipeline is the authority for credential qualification. These numbers are read from the qualification view derived from the official credential-eval run of the public-evidence-snapshot population. The regression and policy populations keep their own counts on the qualification pages and are not added in here.

Authority: new
Population: public-evidence-snapshot

Maintainer-reviewed (independent review pending)

598 fixtures of the 7,041 in evidence release snapshot-2026.10.06.4 carry this label. They are counted in the numbers on this page.

Passed the project’s own verification (source evidence, automated checks, recorded counter-arguments); not yet independently reviewed.

OpenRedaction default (all patterns): not measured in this run (optional)

The default (all-pattern) profile is slow and noisy for credential evaluation: personal data and resource identifiers dominate its findings, and its last official measurement took 7 minutes of scanner time on a population the credential profile scans in seconds (its methods run takes 40+ minutes), so it is a manual measurement and never blocks other scanners or core verification (#763). Its earlier results stay as history with their run identity; the credential profile is a separate scanner, never spliced with it.

Last measurement: policy-corpus@linux-x64 (configuration sha256:2451ce7bf380), public-evidence-snapshot+methods@linux-x64 (configuration sha256:d47d081ce5fb), public-evidence-snapshot@linux-x64 (configuration sha256:2451ce7bf380), regression-corpus@linux-x64 (configuration sha256:2451ce7bf380) · engine 0.1.0-alpha.5 · recorded 2026-10-05 · retained record, no longer listed by the run registry. It stays labelled with that run identity and is never combined with another profile or another run.

OpenRedaction credential profile (33 types): not measured in an official run (local exploratory diagnostics only: see ADR)

The credential profile is the comparison profile chosen in docs/decisions/2026-10-06-choose-the-openredaction-credential-bearing-profile-as-the-comparison-scanner.md. It is optional in the official run class because no pinned engine configuration measures it yet: making it required would refuse every official view until the owner approves the one profile-only run. Its own history starts with that run; nothing of the default's is reused for it.

No earlier measurement of it is recorded. Nothing is shown in its place.

Official measurement: pending: requires owner approval (one profile-only run; see the decision).

Benchmark dossier notes

From the provider dossier, as written. The evidence level above says how well the format is backed; a fact the dossier does not record is not shown.

Shape: prefix dtn_, then exactly 64 lowercase hex characters (68 in total); no separator or checksum.
Basis: prefix and body T1 under ruling R1 and R9: the provider generator returns dtn_ + 32 random bytes hex-encoded (public up to v0.190.0, 2026-06-23; the same inline form since 2025-04-28). Core development moved to a private codebase in June 2026, so the contract is dated. Every later public source (daytona/clients OpenAPI and CLI, helm-charts scripts, SDK 0.218.0, docs dump) is prefix-only and none contradicts it.
Issuance: not attempted; R9 accepts the dated generator as T1 until a newer provider source contradicts it. An issuance check is optional confirmation.
Contract in core: detector-families.md (no row until the Beta.12 detector, redact-secret#970, is merged).

Benchmark dossier questions

Things the sources do not settle. They are listed so nobody reads them as settled.

Open caveat: T1 only as of v0.190.0 (2026-06-23); a post-release format change is an accepted false negative.

Looks like it, but isn't

Values the dossier records as resembling this credential without being one.

Collisions: without the prefix the body is SHA-256 hex (including Daytona's own stored key hash), so the prefix is load-bearing. dtn_secret_<random> Secrets placeholders and dtn_artifact_ markers are not credentials.
