⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Fix the incident date for audit accuracy.

Line 1 says 2025-04-18, but this PR was created on April 18, 2026. Please align the entry date to avoid confusing security history.

Verify each finding against the current code and only fix it if needed.

In @.jules/sentinel.md at line 1, Update the incident header date in the
sentinel entry currently reading "## 2025-04-18 - Remove Hardcoded Password" to
the correct creation date "## 2026-04-18 - Remove Hardcoded Password" so the
audit log reflects the actual PR date; edit the header line in
.jules/sentinel.md accordingly.

**Vulnerability:** Hardcoded password found in test file comments (`tests/inference_test.py`).
**Learning:** Even in test files, hardcoded credentials can expose sensitive information or be picked up by security scanners, creating false positives or actual risks if test passwords are reused.
**Prevention:** Use environment variables (e.g., `ENCRYPTED_PDF_PASSWORD`) for all credentials, even in tests, to maintain a clean and secure codebase.
