Every bundle built its scan input as `git diff --cached ... | grep ... || true`. The `|| true` has to stay, since grep exits 1 when it matches nothing and that is the ordinary case. But with no pipefail it also swallowed a failure of git itself, so an empty result made the scan search nothing, find nothing, and report clean with a real credential staged. A gate that passes without having looked.
.emacs.d found it in elisp. It was in all five: bash, elisp, go, python and typescript, eleven sites once each bundle's staged-file list is counted. Two of those bundles are ones I wrote yesterday by copying bash, so I propagated it while closing an unrelated gap in the same file. Each site now reads the diff on its own and aborts if git fails, leaving the greps their `|| true`.
Verified per bundle on three axes: refuses when the diff cannot be read, still blocks a real staged secret, still passes a clean commit.
The cross-bundle test suite had its own version of the same disease. Its VARIANTS list read "elisp bash go" while python and typescript also shipped hooks, so every "in every variant" assertion had quietly skipped two bundles since the day they were added. VARIANTS is now discovered from the tree. Two fail-closed assertions join it, and .emacs.d's elisp suite is adopted here beside the canonical hook, because a test living in the consuming project cannot fail when the canonical regresses.
Also removes the validate-el auto-test cap, Craig's call. Above 20 matching test files the runner skipped everything and exited 0 with no output. The premise was speed and it did not hold: a whole family runs in about a second. The cap was also hiding a real cross-test pollution bug that only surfaces when a family runs in one process.

The secret scan ran every pattern through grep -iE, so AKIA[0-9A-Z]{16} matched any mixed-case 20-char run. Random base64 in an embedded image blob hits that about 6% of the time per 100KB, enough to block a real commit and force --no-verify. takuzu hit it on a PNG sprite. AWS keys are uppercase, sk- keys lowercase, and PEM headers fixed, so those three now match case-sensitively. Only the keyword=value patterns still need -i.
I measured both causes first. Across ~10MB of random base64 the old pattern produced 7 matches and would have false-positived 6 of 100 sprite-sized blobs. Case-sensitive matching produced none.
takuzu's report also proposed skipping any added line containing ";base64,". I left that out. It guards against an uppercase AKIA run surviving the case fix, which never occurred in the sample and runs about one in a million per blob. The cost is real: minified bundles put a whole file on one line, so a data URI and a live key can share it, and skipping the line hides the key. A test covers that.
The three variants share one scan block, so elisp, bash, and go all carry the change. Splitting one grep into two meant a line matching both passes got reported twice, which reads as two separate leaks. awk dedupes it.
