Product security promises

Tracefuse is designed so a default scan is safe to run on private trees:

Promise Behavior
Offline default Detectors read local files only — no outbound network for a normal scan
Redaction Secret-like evidence is redacted at detect time and again before human, JSON, and SARIF output
Path safety Symlink / .. escapes outside the scan root are rejected
Size caps Oversized files are skipped via max_file_bytes

These are engineering guarantees of the current design — not a formal third-party audit.

Safe demo data

examples/demo-vulnerable/ contains intentionally fake credentials for scanner demos. They are not production secrets. Do not replace them with real keys.
