Fail-closed secret handling

Tested in CIenvironment:LabPersonal labboundedcode-secret-handling

Claim

The full verification gate errors when no secret scanner is available instead of passing silently, secret-looking paths (.env files, keys, Terraform state) are classified as secrets while ordinary source files are not, and API keys are redacted from escalation packets.

Status

tested
An automated test in CI asserts the claimed behaviour, including a failure case where relevant, and passes at the verified commit.

Containment of a prompt-injected agent

An agent that follows injected instructions cannot weaken verification — a rewritten verification config is ignored because configuration is read from the base commit and the path is protected — and a host secret behind a planted symlink never reaches a context pack.
