But request only these? "sanitize of all API keys." We should search for patterns maybe like "api_key", "apikey", "token", "secret". But avoid modifying non-sensitive; also do not modify non contaminated files. Might have false positives. We should search targeted patterns and inspect. We'll search for common patterns: "api_key", "apikey", "secret", "token". But may be in docs; we only replace actual values not placeholders. We'll identify keys with assignment like API_KEY=...; with long strings. We'll carefully inspect.Maybe there are config files with real keys like in .env, .yaml.
