What
The checks that stop credential files being read or synced now recognise three PowerShell profile locations (documents/powershell/profile.ps1, the WindowsPowerShell variant, and .config/powershell/profile.ps1) and hardware-backed SSH keys whose names end in _ed25519_sk or _ed25519_sk_rk.
Details
A new counter, skipped_content_filter, was added to the breakdown of why files were skipped during sync, so content-filtered skips are distinguishable from other reasons.
Applies unconditionally.
Evidence

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
