Do not open a public issue containing credentials, customer information, internal hostnames, private IP addresses, tenant identifiers, or production logs.

Before publishing or contributing code:

• Replace credentials with parameters or environment variables.
• Replace customer and employer names with neutral examples.
• Remove internal domains, UNC paths, and private addresses.
• Confirm that third-party code permits redistribution.
• Scan Git history, not only the current working tree.

If a credential was committed, rotate or revoke it first. Deleting the visible line does not remove it from repository history.
