+- **Redaction is on by default, with no opt-out surface.** The SDK redacts the personal-data class

+  `configuration_items` domain fields (`domain`, `domainExpirationDateTime`,

+  (`rmmDeviceAuditExternalIPAddress`, `rmmDeviceAuditIPAddress`, `rmmDeviceAuditMacAddress`,
+  `rmmDeviceAuditMobileNumber`, `rmmDeviceAuditSNMPContact`), `primaryContact`, `taxID` and

+  interior open/close tags to its literal escape text (that SDK behaviour is the load-bearing
+  control and is pinned by `test/integration/vendor-text.test.ts`'s forged-wrapper block — the
