Defame1297 925f04acdb fix(agentsmd-audit): scope secrets-scanner placeholder allowlist to matched token
validate-secrets.sh checked the placeholder allowlist regex against the
whole line before running any secret-pattern regex. An unrelated
placeholder-looking token anywhere on the line (e.g. "example" or
"your-token-here" in a trailing comment) suppressed detection of a real
credential earlier on the same line. Scope the allowlist check to the
matched secret-candidate substring only, which the per-match re-check
already did downstream but the whole-line pre-check short-circuited
before it ever ran.

Extend validate-secrets.bats with a case proving a real AWS-style key is
still caught when a placeholder token sits elsewhere on the line.
Regenerate the flat-mirror copy at
plugins/core/skills/agentsmd-audit/scripts/validate-secrets.sh via
scripts/sync-plugin-content.sh --all per ADR-0016.

Usage: validate-secrets.sh <repo-root>
Scan every AGENTS.md file in a repo (root and nested) for embedded secrets,
API keys, tokens, or connection strings. AGENTS.md is committed content —
real credentials in it are a hard-prohibition violation, not a style nit.
Placeholders (<your-key>, \$ENV_VAR, YOUR_TOKEN_HERE, example.com, etc.) are
not flagged.
Arguments:
repo-root Path to the repository root to scan.
Exit codes:
0 No findings
1 One or more FAIL findings
