+# LED-2278 [2026-05-27]: positive value-shape gate for generic_secret.
+#
+# The generic_secret regex (`\b(?:secret|password|passwd|token)\b\s*[=:]\s*
+# ['\"]?[^\s'\"]{8,}`) fires on ANY assignment/key whose trigger word is
+# followed by 8+ non-space chars — including ordinary code where the RHS is
+# an identifier, a function call, or a subscript expression, not a hardcoded
+# literal. Examples that recurrently false-positive in this very repo:
+#
+#     token = self._unescape_json_pointer_token(raw_token)   # method call
+#     scheme, token = parts[0].strip().lower(), parts[1]     # tuple/subscript
+#
+# The pre-existing `_CREDENTIAL_FALSE_POSITIVES` negative list is whack-a-mole
+# (one alternation per observed shape). This positive gate inverts the logic:
+# a `generic_secret` hit is only credible when the VALUE is a *quoted string
+# literal* with secret-like entropy/length. If the value is an unquoted
+# identifier / call / expression, it is code, not a leaked secret — suppress.
+#
+# Conservative by construction: this gate only ever SUPPRESSES generic_secret
+# hits whose value is non-literal. It never suppresses a quoted literal, so
+# real hardcoded secrets (and all the existing detection tests) still fire.
+# Applies to generic_secret only — aws_secret_key / github_token / etc. keep
+# their own format-specific regexes untouched.

+# A value (after the = or :) that begins with a quote is a string literal.
