Secret scrubbing now also covers URI-encoded secrets in API check results, always masks sensitive headers such as Authorization and Cookie, and masks secrets that appear as numbers or field names in Playwright traces. The variables page still said numbers are not scrubbed from traces. This PR updates platform/variables.mdx, platform/secrets.mdx and the API check configuration page.

Verified end to end against the released version.

Touches the same page as #416, #481, #485, #591; merge order may matter.

API checks now store sensitive headers (Authorization, Proxy-Authorization, X-Api-Key, X-Auth-Token, Cookie, Set-Cookie) as the mask even without a secret inside, mask the URI-encoded spelling of a secret in the stored URL, query parameters and response body, and store the mask as the actual value of a header assertion on those headers. The exception list for trivial values (123, https:// and the others) now applies to API check results too. In Playwright traces a secret that is a JSON number or a field name is masked, and a secret written in a different letter case is not.

Proven on the local stack at monorepo commit 5858d7e03f (go-runner and runtime 2025.04); evidence in release-watch/2026-10-28/run3/scrubbing.
