kristianwindandClaude Opus 5 f3126b57e6 Stop the credential scan silently skipping binary files
Adding the name-anchored rule in the previous commit also put `-I` on the
value-pattern grep, which it did not have before. grep -I SILENTLY SKIPS a file
it decides is binary, so a PEM header inside one is waved through without a
word. Without -I the same file reports "binary file matches" and fails, which
is the right direction to be wrong in for a check whose whole subject cannot be
unpushed.

Nothing went red to announce this. The tree has no binary tracked files today,
so the narrowing was invisible from both sides — the clean run stayed green and
no probe covered it, because every probe so far planted a text file at the repo
root. It is the same class as the hole this scan already had: a check that
cannot match anything and a check that matches nothing print the same line.

The two rules now differ on -I deliberately, each with the reason inline. The
name rule keeps it: that one is heuristic, so a chance match inside a compiled
asset is noise rather than a finding.

Also proven, rather than asserted, after a sibling plugin found its own scan was
reading only the SHIPPED file list and therefore missing 36 of 73 tracked files
— every CI script, workflow and test fixture, which is exactly where a key gets
pasted to test it. This scan reads `git ls-files` and always has, but the claim
had never been measured: probes in ci/, tests/ and .github/workflows/ are all
caught while `dist-files.sh` lists none of them.

Battery now 19, both directions, through ci/static.sh:

  13 fire  — AKIA, PEM, sk-ant-, sk-, ghp_, gho_, github_pat_, array form,
             define() form, the same key in ci/ and tests/ and .github/, and a
             PEM header inside a binary file
  6 quiet  — a bare hash, an unfilled placeholder, a masked value, an empty or
             short value, a comma after 'token' in ordinary code, and a define
             whose value is still TODO

The comma control comes from the sibling plugin: it put `,` into the shared
alternation and had to prove `wp_die( 'token', 'a long sentence' )` stays
quiet. This tree anchors the comma case on `define(` instead, so the same
string was never at risk — but it is worth a control either way.

# is the whole problem.
#
# Two rules, at two different confidence levels.
#
# The first is content-anchored: prefixes that mean one thing only. Broad
# ENTROPY heuristics are still refused here — they fire on minified assets,
# hashes and base64 images, and a check that cries wolf gets commented out,
# which is worse than not having it.
#
# The second is name-anchored, and closes a hole the first cannot see. A prefix
# list matches the shape of a VALUE, so it is blind to any credential that does
# not carry a vendor's marker: an api_key assigned twenty opaque characters
# walks straight past it. This is not an entropy heuristic — it fires only
# where the code itself names the value a secret, which is why it does not
# touch a minified asset. Obvious placeholders are excluded so a settings
# default does not cry wolf.
#
# ⚠️ It DOES fire on a documentation example, and there is no bypass marker on
# purpose — an unexercised escape hatch is its own hollow check. The first
# version of this comment spelled the example out in full and the rule flagged
# its own explanation, which is the one false positive measured so far. Write
# such an example in prose, or break the literal up.
#
# 🔴 A count cannot tell you a pattern is not INERT. Proven the hard way in a
# sibling plugin: it planted an AWS key, the file count rose, and the scan
# passed green — that prefix was simply missing from its list. So every shape
# claimed below is planted and run through this whole script, not grepped in
# isolation, and a lookalike control is checked not to fire.
#
# 🔴 And it says how many files it read. A pushed key is compromised even after
# the commit is deleted, so this scan silently examining nothing is not a weak
# check — it is the absence of one, wearing a green tick.
#
# The floor here is 1 and is NOT plugin-configurable, unlike the shipped-file
# one above: this list is every tracked file with no filter that could go
# partially wrong, so the only way it misreports is by coming out empty, and
# any higher number would just be a guess about the plugin's size. The count on
# the success line is what catches a list that shrank without emptying.
