Privacy and redaction

• 118 secret patterns from gitleaks (MIT) — covers Stripe, GCP, Azure, SendGrid, GitHub, Slack, AWS, and 100+ other services
• PII redaction — credit cards (Luhn-validated), SSNs, verification codes, password fields, masked character runs
• URL sanitization — strips access tokens, refresh tokens, and JWTs from browser URLs
• Configurable — app exclusions and redaction toggles via ~/.config/tesseract/privacy.json

Performance

• Idle CPU reduced from ~22% to ~0% — timeline UI disabled by default until SwiftUI idle rendering issue is resolved
• Window-switch debouncing — rapid cmd-tab sequences coalesce into a single capture
• Headless mode — app launches as menu bar only; window opens on demand
