stripe-token's live/test secret-key pattern does not claim sk_org_ values. Since redact-secret#1030 (product #1101) classifyFixture resolves sk_org_, sk_org_live_ and sk_org_test_ followed by at least 20 [A-Za-z0-9] to this one family as policy/T3 rows at core's support-policy floor (not a provider grammar; no organization key issued or observed); other sk_org_ values and whsec_ stay pending.

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.

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 sk_org_, named on Stripe's key-types page and its organization keys page, which says the keys "support sandboxes and live mode" and have no rk_org_ sibling. No Stripe page, SDK, mock or peer scanner rule gives a literal key, a body length or an alphabet. Two independent applications branch on sk_org_live_ and sk_org_test_, so a mode segment after the prefix is plausible but unconfirmed.
Basis: - provider docs (T1, prefix): the keys page and the organization API keys page. - provider code (R6, substring only): stripe-cli listen.go tests for the substring sk_org, no grammar. - independent implementations (one class): mask-go accepts sk_org_live_, sk_org_test_ and bare sk_org_; richmond-rapid-connect branches on sk_org_test_ and sk_org_live_; tadas lists both and also rk_org_, which Stripe says does not exist. - Not evidence: three committed sk_org_live_-shaped values in unrelated repositories, withheld; they are a lead that the live_ segment occurs. - Searched with nothing further: eleven Stripe docs pages, nine Stripe SDK and mock repositories, and the rules of gitleaks, trufflehog, betterleaks, CredSweeper, noseyparker and GitLab. GitHub's partner list has no organization row.
Issuance: needs a Stripe organization. Create one organization API key in a sandbox (and read a live one if available) and record only the bytes after sk_org_ (test_, live_ or none), the body length, whether the body is only [A-Za-z0-9] and the total length; then roll or delete the key.
Contract in core: core claims sk_org_ + at least 20 [A-Za-z0-9], and since product PR #1101 (merge bfc608cce75f79f6a5cab037d7e558ba629777f6, closing #1030) also sk_org_live_ and sk_org_test_ + at least 20 alphanumerics, as the same stripe finding as sk_org_. This is the support-policy floor: it follows the optional mode segment that two independent applications branch on, not a provider-stated grammar, and no issued key has been observed. Fixture framing (decided 2026-09-30, benchmarks#1030): because the body after the segment is not provider-decided, the benchmarks cover the three forms as a policy-floor contract part, never as a provider grammar. Fixtures are policy/T3 (never T1 or T2 must-redact), the shorter-than-20 and punctuated-body controls score as policy-floor controls, and the stripe-token contract rows mark every sk_org_ claim not issuance-evidenced, per decision 2026-09-24-stop-asserting-provider-undecided-format-properties. Measured status stays derived. Living spec: detector-families.md.

Benchmark dossier questions

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

Blocked by: Whether a live_ or test_ segment follows sk_org_, and the body length and alphabet; needs one organization API key measured (structure only). Product gap redact-secret#1030 is filed.
Open caveat: nothing beyond the sk_org prefix is provider-stated; an interim rule is a policy floor, not a grammar.

Looks like it, but isn't

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

Collisions: none worth naming for the prefix, which is unique to Stripe organization keys. rk_org_ does not exist per Stripe and must stay excluded; sk_live_/sk_test_ are the account-scoped siblings.
