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
Engine: credential-eval 0.1.0-alpha.16
Evidence: snapshot-2026.10.06.4
Run: sha256:4bec6e539482…
Recorded: 2026-10-07
Authorised for: @redact-secret/core@0.1.0-beta.14

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).

Documentation for the one property varied in legacy twin fixtures (context twin: same-line twilio keyword or Account SID removed): Un-probeable record lifted 2026-09-24 (#207): the value is opaque and context-gated (CONTEXT_GATED), so #207 requires context twins and no bare-value claim. Each twin keeps the 32-character value byte-for-byte and removes only the same-line marker the detector contract names (the word twilio or the AC Account SID), per the context-twin decision; the twin is policy-tier, like the positive.

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: exactly 32 characters, no prefix, no marker; lowercase hex per scanners. Secondary, regional, test and subaccount tokens have no stated shape. Twilio's sample code sometimes accepts [a-z0-9] and calls it hexadecimal, most likely loosely.
Basis: T2. Length 32 is checked client-side in twilio-cli (profiles:create, skippable with a hidden flag), serverless-toolkit ("32 characters long and made of letters and numbers") and three more Twilio-owned repos. The #662 record calls this a T1 candidate for length only, with caveats a maintainer must accept; no ruling was found. Alphabet: TruffleHog ([0-9a-f]{32} beside an AC SID), CredSweeper; GitGuardian records Prefixed: False. The Auth Token resource schema types auth_token as an untyped string.
Issuance: not attempted; a token is bound to the account.
Contract in core: detector-families.md; evidence #662 record.

Benchmark dossier questions

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

Open caveat: Length 32 is Twilio-owned client-side code (T1 candidate needing a maintainer ruling); the lowercase-hex alphabet is tool-corroborated; no prefix or marker, so it is only claimed beside same-line Twilio context.

Looks like it, but isn't

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

Collisions: any 32-hex run (MD5, UUID without dashes); hence the same-line AC SID or twilio gate.

Scanner rules for this family

Mapped by hand (reviewed 2026-09-30) from each scanner's pinned rule file, never from what a scanner found on the fixtures.
