+# Scans the FULL git history, not just the working tree: a credential that was
+# committed and later deleted is still published, and only a history scan sees it.
+# The weekly run exists because new detector rules find old secrets that passed
+# when they were first pushed.
+#
+# This repository carries a .gitleaksignore: its tests assert that a redaction
+# function masks secret-shaped input, so the fixtures trip the scanner. Those
+# entries are pinned per commit, file, rule and line, never by directory.
