- PR #138471: fix(tests): re-pin the import-time redaction snapshot in the hermetic fixture

Three members concern the same topic: an import-time snapshot in agent.redact that reportedly escapes the hermetic test environment scrub, affecting redaction tests when security.redact_secrets is false in the shell. Two members propose re-pinning that snapshot in the test fixture/conftest, and one is the bug report describing the problem.
