 ## R05: Redact recovery paths and diagnostic fields at display boundaries — P2
 
+**Completed:** Facade errors and CLI recovery displays now redact recognized
+HTTP credentials in paths, metadata, diagnostics, and handoff commands. Public
+error and CLI human/JSON regressions passed; raw typed causes and private record
+contents remain intact.
+
 **Relevant code:** `recovery.go:53`; `cmd/releasekit/recovery.go:76`, its JSON DTO
 construction, and human path displays; `cmd/releasekit/main.go`'s record displays.
