Hey
The sanitization logic itself looks great:
If you'd like to address the focus issue, please revert the unrelated workflow change (the deletion of the "Install Docker on macOS" step from

Pull request overview
This PR fixes a bug where SanitizeErrorMessage was incorrectly redacting GH_AW_* environment variable names in compile error suggestions, making error messages unhelpful to users. The fix exempts all GH_AW_ prefixed variables from sanitization, as these are public configuration variables rather than secrets.
Changes:
- Added prefix check to exempt
GH_AW_*variables from sanitization in error messages - Added comprehensive test coverage for the fix including validation skip variables and generic
GH_AW_prefixed variables - Removed Docker installation step from smoke-macos-arm64 workflow (appears unrelated)

The removal of the "Install Docker on macOS" step appears to be unrelated to the main purpose of this PR (fixing GH_AW_* variable redaction). This change should either be:
- Reverted from this PR and included in a separate PR with proper justification
- Explained in the PR description if it is intentional
The smoke-macos-arm64.md workflow source file still references Docker availability checks (line 122 and 157), suggesting this step removal may be accidental.
SanitizeErrorMessagewas treatingGH_AW_SKIP_*config variables as secrets, causing compile error suggestions to show[REDACTED]=trueinstead of actionable variable names likeGH_AW_SKIP_NPX_VALIDATION=true.Changes
