🔒 What's secret​

SSN is masked until someone who can read the secret reveals or copies it, and every reveal and copy is written to the audit trail. Everything else is plain metadata that anyone who can see the folder can see.

SSN is super-sensitive: the reveal shows a partial mask first and takes a second, deliberate reveal for the whole value. Service accounts and personal tokens can't read it while the Allow API access to sensitive secrets setting is off, which is the default (security settings).
