Security & redaction

@secret

Mark sensitive fields to avoid accidental leaks in JSON dumps and highlight in CLI.

ts

@setting.string()
@secret()
connectionString!: string

Safe JSON dumps

toJSON redacts secret values as '****'. Dumping the top-level settings object is safe:

ts

console.log(JSON.stringify(settings, null, 2))

Caveats

Redaction applies to JSON dumps; code can still read/print raw secrets.
Combine with least-privilege secrets storage and careful logging.
