Two of those patterns were extended with extra parts. One looks for sensitive values being assigned, and one looks for cloud environment variables.\n\nSeparately, when Claude Code reads its auto-managed memory files, it no longer logs this as a memory \"read\" operation. It now records those file paths in a different list.\n\n**Why**\n\nWhat gets hidden, and how memory reads are tracked, may both have changed.\n\n- Area: Secret Scrubbing\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
