What
Text shown by Grep, Read and related tools passes through a sanitizer that caps how many invisible and variation-selector characters can run together on one line. If the text would have to be altered, it is shown as withheld content with a marker instead of being printed verbatim, which blocks hidden instructions smuggled into files.
Details
runs on all matched file content, unconditionally
the marker stands in place of the offending text so you can see something was suppressed
Evidence
kind: "withheld", marker: lO(lU)
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
