Shortened output no longer cuts a hidden secret in half

When Claude Code shortens output and hides secrets, it now moves its cut points so it does not split a secret and leave part of it showing

What

Claude Code can shorten long output and replace secrets such as passwords or tokens with [REDACTED]. When it shortens text, it now moves the cut so it does not land in the middle of a secret. It watches for the signs that often come before one, such as =, :, a quote mark, bearer or basic. It also keeps count of how many characters were removed. Before, it simply cut at a line break and kept the end.

Why

A shortened log or output tail is less likely to show part of a credential.
