Exclude all documented presence fields from secret-key matching.

The suffix check also matches hasPasswords, hasSecrets, and hasApiKeys, so their string values become [REDACTED]. Excluding only hasCookies and hasCredentials would leave the same documented substring-redaction defect.

Add all known presence-field names to the shared matcher exception. This preserves standalone plural secret keys and exact compound token names such as accessTokens.

🐛 Suggested fix 
 function normalizeKey(key: string): string {
   return key.replace(/[^a-z0-9]/gi, '').toLowerCase();
 }

Review comment at @src/lib/redact.ts at line 58:
Update the shared secret-key matcher in isSecretKey to exclude all documented
presence-field names—hasCookies, hasPasswords, hasSecrets, hasApiKeys, and
hasCredentials—before applying suffix matching. Preserve the existing standalone
plural secret-key and exact compound-token matching behavior.
