Gap 1 closed. The output gate finds runs of 32+ hex digits
(calibration.HEX_WRAP_MIN_LEN), decodes both byte alignments, keeps text
that is at least 80% printable (the base64 bar, now one shared helper in
entropy) and runs the credential patterns on it. A hex-wrapped AWS key
surfaces as decoded:egress:aws-access-key-id with "in hex run @ N" as
evidence; the value is never in it. Credentials only: a hex-wrapped
injection is not decoded.
Measured before and after on the same trees: all 3583 clean documents
(three FP populations and the 78 pinned OKF concepts) are identical line
for line under both presets (disposition, labels, severity, count,
offset); OKF import stays 47/31. They and 569 READMEs hold 2403 hex runs
of 32+ digits, none of which decodes to text. scan_output CPU 122.9 s
before, 123.4 s after; one solid hex run at the 1M cap 4.2 s -> 5.8 s.
14 new tests (10 red for the right reason first), 6 of 6 mutations red.
Matrix 146/146 + 5/5 gaps, suite 1274 passed, ReDoS sweep 169 patterns.
