- #108807: redaction: mixed-case Authorization headers bypass the case-sensitive fast-path gate
- PR #108827: fix(redact): mask mixed-case Authorization headers behind a casing-agnostic gate
- PR #110779: fix(redact): mixed-case Authorization headers bypass the fast-path gate
- PR #114558: fix(redact): case-insensitive Authorization fast-path gate

These items all address a bug where mixed-case Authorization headers bypass a case-sensitive fast-path gate in the redaction logic. The work focuses on making that gate case-insensitive so headers are consistently masked regardless of casing.
