tr_ + dev|stg|prod|preview + _sk_ + 24 [0-9A-Za-z] (additional), or tr_<env>_ + 24 or legacy 20 (root); pk_<env>_ public keys are not secrets.
Registry detector trigger-dev-token since redact-secret#904 (registry pinned at 1127bf9); graduated from a Beta.11 arrival family (#434 slice b, #860 Tier A handoff), contract in benchmarks/lib/beta8/434b.ts. T1. tr_oat_ organization tokens are unshaped (T0) and not claimed.

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
tr_+ one ofdev,stg,prod,preview+_(root key) or_sk_(additional key, allowed since 2026-08-25), then an alphanumeric body of exactly 24 characters; legacy root keys (up to v4.0.0) have exactly 20. No checksum.- Basis
- T1. The additional-key grammar is a regex in the published SDK core; the root and legacy grammars are generator code (R1); the docs corroborate the prefixes. Legacy 20-byte roots are kept because lookup is by value and no statement says they stopped authenticating.
- Issuance
- not attempted.
- Contract in core
- detector-families.md.

- Collisions
pk_<env>_+ 20 is the public key and must stay benign. Env slugs outside the four (tr_test_,tr_staging_) are not in the provider's union.
