tinysweeper found nothing blocking, but could not review everything, so this is not an approval: crates/tinyinference-core/src/sanitize.rs, crates/tinyinference-core/src/sanitize_tests.rs.

- Around line 276-282: Update the type-annotation exception in scrub_credentials
so uppercase credential values, including quoted and unquoted password values,
are still redacted unless the surrounding text establishes a valid
type-annotation context. Add tests covering both quoted and unquoted uppercase
password cases.
- Line 186: Update the bare-identifier redaction condition using
DIGITLESS_IDENTIFIER_REGEX so ordinary source-code identifiers, such as type
annotations and variable assignments, remain unchanged; redact only values
identified as credentials, without partially replacing identifier text.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Preserve identifier references in source code.
If the input contains api_key: str, this rule changes it to api_key: *[REDACTED]. It also changes api_key=local_key to api_key=loca*[REDACTED]. Both inputs can be ordinary Python source, and the sanitized output is no longer valid source. Distinguish source-code identifiers from credential values before redacting bare identifiers. The PR objective explicitly calls for avoiding damage to ordinary source code.

Sensitive Data Exposure
Reachability: External
Exploitability: Moderate
CWE: CWE-200 — Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor
Do not treat quoted credentials as type annotations.
If scrub_credentials receives {"password":"Hunter"}, this branch returns the full match. The quoted flag does not affect the branch, so the returned text exposes the complete password to anyone who can read the sanitized output. Unquoted password: Hunter has the same result. Restrict the exception to established type-annotation contexts. Add quoted and unquoted uppercase password cases to the tests.

Restores redaction of all-letter password values such as
password=hunter. tinyinference#54 stopped redacting them when it narrowed the scrubber so it no longer mangled ordinary source code.Why this PR now: tinyagents main already pins this commit (
a5f129d0) as its nestedvendor/tinyinference, but it was never merged to tinyinference main and had no PR. Merging it puts that gitlink on a main commit, so a later GC can't strand it.The branch is 1 commit on top of an older main; main has since moved 13 commits. Related: tinyhumansai/openhuman#6954, tinyinference#54.
