Description

Plans carry sensitivity maps; expose them so "anything matching a credential pattern must be marked
sensitive" is writable — the correct version of a secrets regex over attributes someone remembered
to name. Also: no sensitive value in an output, none written to a resource that logs.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the Terraform plan parsing and policy evaluation paths that handle before_sensitive and after_sensitive maps; done means sensitivity data can be used in credential-pattern checks and sensitive values are excluded from outputs and logging resources.
