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.\n\n**Details**\n\n- runs on all matched file content, unconditionally\n- the marker stands in place of the offending text so you can see something was suppressed\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`kind: \"withheld\", marker: lO(lU)`\n\n- Area: File Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
