- PR #54038: fix(state): redact credentials in state.db before INSERT (#54027)

These issues and pull requests address gaps in secret redaction coverage, specifically adding Google OAuth token prefixes (ya29./1//) to the scrubber and applying redaction at the state.db persistence boundary, which was previously missed. Tool output file dumps, compaction blocks, and DB URIs are also noted as related redaction gaps.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_PARTIAL`): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
- Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
- Pairwise link density `0.27`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.
