The secret scan previously ran against JSON.stringify(out), where JSON escaping rewrites " to \" and \ to \\, so a registered secret containing those characters would no longer match as a substring and could slip into a public field. Replaced that with a scan over each allowlisted field’s raw string value (title, summary, body, and every tag). Added three tests covering a quote-bearing secret, a backslash-bearing secret, and a quote-bearing secret smuggled into a tag; all 31 tests pass and astro check is clean with the seeded tests unchanged.

Hardened the lab-report sanitizer so secrets containing quotes or backslashes can't evade the leak scan via JSON escaping.Hardened the leak scan so a secret containing quotes or backslashes can no longer slip past it through JSON escaping.Found a way a password containing certain punctuation could have slipped past the leak filter unnoticed. Closed it, and added tests so it stays closed.
