## 2026-05-13 — Shell redaction helper quoting failure

**Context:** While auditing current OpenClaw/Hermes role and safety posture, an initial bash command attempted to define a `sed` redaction helper with nested quotes.

**Error:** Bash exited with a syntax error (`unexpected EOF`) before doing any inspection.

**Impact:** No files were modified; command was read-only but did not run.

**Resolution:** Re-ran the audit with safer Python-based redaction and simple shell pipelines. Avoid inline `sed -E` expressions with mixed single/double quotes for sensitive redaction; prefer a small Python redaction block.
