In @.jules/sentinel.md at line 1, The security journal entry header in
.jules/sentinel.md is dated "## 2024-04-11 - Hardcoded Test Passwords" but this
PR is from April 11, 2026; update that header string to "## 2026-04-11 -
Hardcoded Test Passwords" so the audit trail date is correct (edit the markdown
header line containing "## 2024-04-11 - Hardcoded Test Passwords").

**Vulnerability:** Hardcoded password found in test comment (`tests/inference_test.py`).
**Learning:** Even if it's just a test asset password, hardcoded credentials trigger secret scanners and violate security standards.
**Prevention:** Use environment variables for all credentials, even for test fixtures or in comments.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Comment is currently misleading about password handling.

ENCRYPTED_PDF_PASSWORD is referenced here, but there is no code path that reads it (commonforms/inference.py currently raises on encrypted PDFs directly). Please reword this as a future plan, not current behavior.

Suggested wording update 
-    # Reminder to future Joe: password for encrypted PDF is in the ENCRYPTED_PDF_PASSWORD env var
+    # TODO: when password-based decryption is implemented, source it from
+    # ENCRYPTED_PDF_PASSWORD instead of hardcoding any credential.

In `@tests/inference_test.py` at line 47, Update the misleading inline comment in
tests/inference_test.py: replace the present-tense note that "password for
encrypted PDF is in the ENCRYPTED_PDF_PASSWORD env var" with a future-planned
wording indicating that support for reading ENCRYPTED_PDF_PASSWORD will be
implemented later (e.g., "TODO/Future: support reading ENCRYPTED_PDF_PASSWORD
for encrypted PDFs; current code in commonforms/inference.py raises on encrypted
PDFs"), since there is no code path that reads that env var and inference.py
currently raises on encrypted PDFs.
