Everything looks correct. One self-review note: the `datadog_logs` sink at line 52 still has `inputs: [otlp_in.logs]` — it should eventually point to the `drop_audit` transform output once the pipeline is wired end-to-end. However, the task spec says not to pre-empt A10 and to keep the transform hardcoded for now, and the sink wiring isn't in scope for A5. I'll flag this as a concern but not change it — it's a known pending wiring task.

---

**Status: DONE_WITH_CONCERNS**

**VRL test files created** (all at `tests/vrl/drop_audit/`):

- `program.vrl` — standalone VRL that returns `{"kept": bool}` mirroring the filter condition
- `inputs.ndjson` — 5 test cases covering: audit-prefixed message (drop), plain info message (keep), JSON with `"level":"audit"` (drop), JSON with literal word "audit" but not the key-value shape (keep), empty string (keep)
- `expected.ndjson` — corresponding 5 expected outputs (`false`, `true`, `false`, `true`, `true`)
- `run.sh` — executable test runner using `vector vrl --no-prompt -p`

**VRL test runner result: BLOCKED** — `vector` is not installed on this system. The runner file is ready; once `vector` is installed (`brew install vector` should do it, Sir Charles of St Cheese), run `./tests/vrl/drop_audit/run.sh` from the module root to verify. If the installed version uses different flag names, check `vector vrl --help` and adjust accordingly — the `--no-prompt` and `-p` flags are the ones most likely to have been renamed across minor versions.

**Template modification confirmed** — `templates/values.yaml.tpl` line 40: `transforms: {}` replaced with the inline `drop_audit` filter block. The condition is hardcoded (not parameterized), as required by the spec — A10 will introduce `${audit_drop_condition}`.

**`terraform fmt -check -recursive` result: exit 0** — no formatting issues.

**Self-review concern:** The `datadog_logs` sink still reads from `otlp_in.logs` rather than `drop_audit`. This means the filter transform is currently an orphan — logs flow directly to Datadog without passing through it. The sink wiring is out of scope for A5 per the plan, but whoever picks up A10 (or the wiring task) needs to change `datadog_logs.inputs` from `- otlp_in.logs` to `- drop_audit`. Worth noting so it doesn't get lost.

Prompt:
You are implementing Task A5 of an implementation plan: add the `drop_audit` filter transform to the Vector Helm values template, plus a VRL unit test.

## What's already in place

- Working directory: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector`
- `templates/values.yaml.tpl` exists with sources + sinks + an empty `transforms: {}` block.
- `tests/` directory exists but is empty (snapshot-test infrastructure was skipped at user request — do NOT recreate it).
- `variables.tf`, `outputs.tf`, `versions.tf`, `.gitignore`, `README.md` all present.

## Task Description (verbatim from plan, with snapshot-test steps removed)

### Task A5: drop_audit filter transform + VRL unit test

**Files:**
- Modify: `templates/values.yaml.tpl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/drop_audit/program.vrl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/drop_audit/inputs.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/drop_audit/expected.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/drop_audit/run.sh`

**SKIP** any work involving `tests/snapshots/` or `tests/render-snapshot.sh` — the user has opted out of snapshot tests.

- [ ] **Step 1: Write the VRL test program** at `tests/vrl/drop_audit/program.vrl`. This extracts the `condition` from the filter into a standalone VRL that evaluates to true if the event would be kept, false if dropped — same semantics as Vector's `filter` transform:

```vrl
msg = string!(.message ?? "")
. = { "kept": !match(msg, r'Audit\s-\s.+') && !match(msg, r'"level":"audit"') }
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Write inputs** at `tests/vrl/drop_audit/inputs.ndjson` (one JSON object per line):

```json
{"message": "Audit - login by user@example.com"}
{"message": "INFO request handled"}
{"message": "{\"level\":\"audit\",\"action\":\"foo\"}"}
{"message": "{\"level\":\"info\",\"msg\":\"audit team meeting\"}"}
{"message": ""}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Write expected outputs** at `tests/vrl/drop_audit/expected.ndjson`:

```json
{"kept": false}
{"kept": true}
{"kept": false}
{"kept": true}
{"kept": true}
```

Note: line 4 contains the literal string "audit" but not the JSON-shape `"level":"audit"`, so it's kept.

- [ ] **Step 4: Write the test runner** at `tests/vrl/drop_audit/run.sh`:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)"
ACTUAL="$DIR/.actual.ndjson"
: > "$ACTUAL"
while IFS= read -r line; do
  echo "$line" | vector vrl --no-prompt -p "$DIR/program.vrl" >> "$ACTUAL"
done < "$DIR/inputs.ndjson"
diff -u "$DIR/expected.ndjson" "$ACTUAL"
echo "drop_audit VRL OK"
```

`chmod +x tests/vrl/drop_audit/run.sh`.

- [ ] **Step 5: Run the VRL test, expect PASS.**

```bash
./tests/vrl/drop_audit/run.sh
```

If the `vector vrl` command-line flags differ in your installed version (Vector occasionally renames flags between minor versions — particularly `--no-prompt` and `-p`), inspect `vector vrl --help` and adjust the runner. The semantic test (does the VRL drop the right inputs?) is what matters. Iterate until the diff is clean.

If `vector` is not installed: report BLOCKED and stop.

- [ ] **Step 6: Add the transform to `templates/values.yaml.tpl`.** Replace the line `  transforms: {}` (note the two-space indentation under `customConfig:`) with:

```yaml
  transforms:
    drop_audit:
      type: filter
      inputs:
        - otlp_in.logs
      condition: |
        msg = string!(.message ?? "")
        !match(msg, r'Audit\s-\s.+') && !match(msg, r'"level":"audit"')
```

NOTE: the `condition` body inline-hardcodes the two patterns at this stage. Task A10 will later parameterize this via a `${audit_drop_condition}` template variable. Don't pre-empt A10 here — keep it hardcoded for now.

- [ ] **Step 7: Verify the template still renders.** Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive` from the module root; expected exit 0. (No snapshot diff to run since snapshots are skipped — but a quick manual render via Terraform's `templatefile()` is worthwhile to catch HCL/YAML syntax issues. Optional: write a one-shot ad-hoc check, but **do not** create persistent snapshot test infrastructure.)

## Context

- **Sibling helm chart conventions:** the upstream `timberio/vector` chart consumes `customConfig` as inline YAML — preserving its top-level structure (`sources`, `transforms`, `sinks`) is required.
- **Vector's `filter` transform** passes events when the condition returns `true`. So a condition `!match(msg, r'X')` keeps non-matching events and drops matching ones. The VRL test's `kept` flag mirrors this: `kept: false` means "would be dropped".
- **Spec:** `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md` §4.2
- **Plan:** `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-pipeline.md` Task A5

## Constraints

- **DO NOT run any git commands.** No `git add`, no `git commit`. The user handles git manually.
- **DO NOT** push, tag, open MRs.
- **DO NOT** run `terraform apply`, `kubectl`, `helm install`, or anything that mutates real infrastructure.
- **DO NOT** create snapshot-test infrastructure (no `tests/snapshots/`, no `tests/render-snapshot.sh`). Skipped at user request.
- VRL tests via the `vector` CLI are read-only/pure-function — permitted.

## Your Job

1. Verify `vector` CLI is installed (`which vector` or `vector --version`). If absent, report BLOCKED.
2. Write the four `tests/vrl/drop_audit/*` files and chmod the runner.
3. Run the runner. Iterate on flag names if the installed Vector version uses different flags. Confirm 5/5 expected outputs match.
4. Modify `templates/values.yaml.tpl` to replace `  transforms: {}` with the inline-hardcoded `drop_audit` filter block.
5. Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive`.
6. Self-review.
7. Report. **No git commands.**

## Report Format

- **Status:** DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT
- VRL test files created and final stdout from the runner
- Any flag adjustments needed for `vector vrl`
- Template modification confirmed
- `terraform fmt` result
- Self-review findings

Implement Vector with Flux for data redaction


A5 template change is correct (orphan transform is by design — A6 wires it through to the sink). VRL test files written but the `vector` CLI isn't installed locally — needs `brew install vectordotdev/brew/vector` (it's a tap, not a regular formula).

**Quick question before I continue, Sir Charles:** The remaining VRL transforms (A6, A7, A8) are the actual redaction logic — the whole point of the spec. The VRL unit tests are how we'd actually verify they work without standing up Vector in a real cluster. Two options:

- **(a)** Install the CLI now: `brew install vectordotdev/brew/vector` (one-time, ~30s). VRL tests run for real on every transform task, catching bugs before they get committed.
- **(b)** Skip VRL test execution entirely — write the test files as documentation, you (or I) run them later when the CLI is installed.

(a) is what the plan was designed around. (b) lets us push through faster but leaves the redaction logic unverified until you install. Which way?

Confirm vector CLI works and check vrl subcommand flags


vector 0.55.0 (aarch64-apple-darwin cf8de83 2026-04-22 14:31:18.008404048)
Vector Remap Language CLI

Usage: vector vrl [OPTIONS] [PROGRAM]

Arguments:
  [PROGRAM]  The VRL program to execute. The program ".foo = true", for example, sets the event
             object's `foo` field to `true`

Options:
  -i, --input <INPUT_FILE>      The file containing the event object(s) to handle. JSON events
                                should be one per line..
  -p, --program <PROGRAM_FILE>  The file containing the VRL program to execute. This can be used
                                instead of `PROGRAM`
  -q, --quiet
  -o, --print-object            Print the (modified) event object instead of the result of the final
                                expression. Setting this flag is equivalent to using `.` as the
                                final expression
  -z, --timezone <TIMEZONE>     The timezone used to parse dates
  -r, --runtime <RUNTIME>       Should we use the VM to evaluate the VRL [default: ast]
      --print-warnings
  -h, --help                    Print help


Vector 0.55.0 installed. The `--no-prompt` flag the plan referenced doesn't exist in this version — it's `-q`/`--quiet` now. Quick manual test to figure out the right runner shape.

Implement Task A6: redact_emails_logs + VRL test

Prompt:
You are implementing Task A6 of an implementation plan: add the `redact_emails_logs` remap transform to the Vector helm values template, plus a VRL unit test.

## What's already in place

- Working directory: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector`
- `templates/values.yaml.tpl` has sources + sinks + a `drop_audit` filter transform (logs only).
- `tests/vrl/drop_audit/` has a working VRL unit test for that transform.
- `vector` 0.55.0 CLI is installed locally at `/opt/homebrew/bin/vector`. `jq` is also installed.
- VRL syntax in 0.55: **`.path ?? "fallback"` is REJECTED** because path access is infallible. Use `if is_string(.path) { string!(.path) } else { "" }` or equivalent type guard.
- Runner pattern: `vector vrl -p program.vrl -i inputs.ndjson -q -o > .actual.ndjson`, then diff via `jq -c .` normalization on both sides (vector outputs `{ "k": v }` with spaces; expected.ndjson uses `{"k": v}` without — `jq -c` normalizes both).

## Task Description (verbatim from plan, with VRL/runner fixes baked in)

### Task A6: redact_emails_logs remap + VRL unit test

**Files:**
- Modify: `templates/values.yaml.tpl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/program.vrl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/inputs.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/expected.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/run.sh`

- [ ] **Step 1: VRL test program** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/program.vrl`. **Adjusted for Vector 0.55** — use `is_string` guard instead of `??` on `.message`:

```vrl
email_re = r'[\w._%+\-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}'

if is_string(.message) {
  .message = replace(string!(.message), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]")
}

if is_object(.attributes) {
  .attributes = map_values(object!(.attributes)) -> |v| {
    if is_string(v) { replace(v, email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
  }
}
.
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Inputs** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/inputs.ndjson`:

```json
{"message": "user alice@example.com signed in"}
{"message": "no email here"}
{"message": "multiple a@b.com and c.d+tag@sub.example.co.uk"}
{"message": "ok", "attributes": {"user.email": "bob@x.io", "request.id": "abc-123"}}
{"message": "json blob {\"email\":\"x@y.com\"}"}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Expected outputs** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/expected.ndjson`:

```json
{"message": "user [REDACTED-EMAIL] signed in"}
{"message": "no email here"}
{"message": "multiple [REDACTED-EMAIL] and [REDACTED-EMAIL]"}
{"message": "ok", "attributes": {"user.email": "[REDACTED-EMAIL]", "request.id": "abc-123"}}
{"message": "json blob {\"email\":\"[REDACTED-EMAIL]\"}"}
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Runner** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/run.sh`:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)"
ACTUAL="$DIR/.actual.ndjson"
vector vrl -p "$DIR/program.vrl" -i "$DIR/inputs.ndjson" -q -o > "$ACTUAL"
diff -u <(jq -c . "$DIR/expected.ndjson") <(jq -c . "$ACTUAL")
echo "redact_emails_logs VRL OK"
```

`chmod +x tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/run.sh`.

- [ ] **Step 5: Run, expect PASS.**

```bash
./tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/run.sh
```

If diff shows mismatches, debug:
- Vector may emit objects with sorted keys; jq -c will normalize this.
- If a regex match unexpectedly fires/misses, run a single-line test via `echo '{"message":"..."}' | vector vrl -p program.vrl -q -o` to inspect.
- Iterate until clean pass.

- [ ] **Step 6: Add the transform to `templates/values.yaml.tpl`.** Append into the existing `transforms:` map (after `drop_audit:`):

```yaml
    redact_emails_logs:
      type: remap
      inputs:
        - drop_audit
      source: |
        email_re = r'[\w._%+\-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}'
        if is_string(.message) {
          .message = replace(string!(.message), email_re, "${email_redaction_replacement}")
        }
        if is_object(.attributes) {
          .attributes = map_values(object!(.attributes)) -> |v| {
            if is_string(v) { replace(v, email_re, "${email_redaction_replacement}") } else { v }
          }
        }
```

NOTE the `${email_redaction_replacement}` placeholder — this is a Terraform `templatefile()` variable that will be substituted at module-render time. The default value is `[REDACTED-EMAIL]` (defined in `variables.tf`).

- [ ] **Step 7: Update sinks block** to wire the logs sink to the new transform:

```yaml
    datadog_logs:
      type: datadog_logs
      inputs:
        - redact_emails_logs   # was: otlp_in.logs
```

- [ ] **Step 8: Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive`** — expected exit 0.

## Context

- **Spec:** `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md` §4.3
- **Plan:** `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-pipeline.md` Task A6
- The `drop_audit` transform's output goes to `redact_emails_logs` (chained), and from there the `datadog_logs` sink consumes its output. After this task, the logs pipeline is: `otlp_in.logs → drop_audit → redact_emails_logs → datadog_logs`.
- Traces and metrics still go directly from `otlp_in.{traces,metrics}` to their respective sinks — no transforms applied yet (those come in A7 and A8).

## Constraints

- **DO NOT run any git commands.** No `git add`, no `git commit`. The user handles git manually.
- **DO NOT** push, tag, open MRs.
- **DO NOT** run `terraform apply`, `kubectl`, `helm install`, anything that mutates infra.
- **DO NOT** create snapshot-test infrastructure (`tests/snapshots/` is OFF the table — user opted out).
- VRL test execution via the `vector` CLI is permitted and required.

## Your Job

1. Write the four `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/*` files. `chmod +x` the runner.
2. Run the runner. Iterate until "redact_emails_logs VRL OK" prints with 5/5 matching.
3. Edit `templates/values.yaml.tpl`:
   - Append the `redact_emails_logs:` block under the existing `transforms:` map (preserve YAML two-space indentation under `customConfig:`).
   - Change `datadog_logs.inputs` from `[otlp_in.logs]` to `[redact_emails_logs]`.
4. Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive` from the module root. Exit 0 expected.
5. Self-review:
   - Are all 5 VRL test cases passing?
   - Does the template's regex use `${email_redaction_replacement}` (Terraform variable interpolation) and NOT `[REDACTED-EMAIL]` literal?
   - Does `datadog_traces` and `datadog_metrics` sink wiring remain unchanged?
6. Report. **No git commands.**

## Report Format

- **Status:** DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT
- VRL test result (must show "redact_emails_logs VRL OK")
- Template lines modified
- `terraform fmt` result
- Self-review findings


---

**Status:** DONE

**VRL test result:** `redact_emails_logs VRL OK` — all 5/5 cases pass.

One debugging note worth flagging, Sir Charles of St Cheese: the plan's suggested VRL was not quite right for Vector 0.55. Two compiler errors had to be worked around:

1. `map_values(object!(.attributes))` — using `!` made `map_values` fallible (due to `replace()` inside the lambda not knowing `v` is a string), but without `!`, passing a fallible `object()` call as an argument was also rejected. The fix was to pre-cast: `attrs, _err = object(.attributes)` followed by `map_values(object!(attrs))` where `attrs` is now a known-typed local.
2. `string!(v)` inside the `is_string(v)` guard is required to tell the compiler the type is definitively `string` — without it, `replace(v, ...)` fails type checking.

The final `program.vrl` diverges from the plan's verbatim suggestion but is semantically identical. The same logic is used in the template's `source:` block.

**Template lines modified:**
- `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector/templates/values.yaml.tpl` lines 48–64: appended `redact_emails_logs` remap transform with `${email_redaction_replacement}` placeholder (no literal `[REDACTED-EMAIL]` in the template).
- Line 69: `datadog_logs` sink input changed from `otlp_in.logs` to `redact_emails_logs`.
- `datadog_traces` and `datadog_metrics` sinks remain wired directly to `otlp_in.traces` and `otlp_in.metrics` — unchanged.

**`terraform fmt` result:** exit 0, no formatting issues.

**Self-review:** Clean on all counts.

A6 complete: VRL test passes 5/5, template wired through, sink reads from `redact_emails_logs`. Moving to A7 (redact_emails_traces) with the Vector 0.55 lessons baked in.


Updated task #14 status


Implement Task A7: redact_emails_traces + VRL test

Prompt:
You are implementing Task A7: add the `redact_emails_traces` remap transform to the Vector helm values template, plus a VRL unit test. This walks span attributes AND resource.attributes.

## What's already in place

- Working directory: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector`
- `templates/values.yaml.tpl` has sources, drop_audit filter, redact_emails_logs remap, sinks. The `datadog_traces` sink currently reads directly from `otlp_in.traces`.
- `tests/vrl/drop_audit/` and `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/` are passing.
- `vector` 0.55.0 CLI installed at `/opt/homebrew/bin/vector`. `jq` installed.

## Vector 0.55 VRL lessons (from prior tasks — apply these proactively)

1. **Path access is infallible.** `.path ?? "x"` is rejected with E651. Use `if is_string(.path) { string!(.path) } else { "" }` or equivalent type guard.
2. **Local-variable type narrowing required for `map_values` lambdas.** Direct `map_values(object!(.attributes))` chained with `replace(v, ...)` inside the lambda fails type checking. Use this pattern instead:

   ```vrl
   if is_object(.attributes) {
     attrs, _err = object(.attributes)
     if is_object(attrs) {
       .attributes = map_values(object!(attrs)) -> |v| {
         if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   Note: inside the `is_string(v)` guard, use `string!(v)` to narrow `v`'s type for `replace()`.

3. **Runner pattern:** `vector vrl -p program.vrl -i inputs.ndjson -q -o > .actual.ndjson`, then diff via `jq -c .` normalization. NOT `--no-prompt` (does not exist in 0.55).

## Task Description (verbatim from plan, with VRL/runner fixes baked in)

### Task A7: redact_emails_traces remap + VRL unit test

**Files:**
- Modify: `templates/values.yaml.tpl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/program.vrl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/inputs.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/expected.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh`

The OTLP-source span shape exposes `.attributes` for span-level attributes and `.resource.attributes` for resource-level. Walk both.

- [ ] **Step 1: VRL program** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/program.vrl`. Use the type-narrowing pattern proven in A6:

```vrl
email_re = r'[\w._%+\-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}'

if is_object(.attributes) {
  attrs, _err = object(.attributes)
  if is_object(attrs) {
    .attributes = map_values(object!(attrs)) -> |v| {
      if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
    }
  }
}

if is_object(.resource) {
  res, _err = object(.resource)
  if is_object(res) && is_object(res.attributes) {
    rattrs, _err2 = object(res.attributes)
    if is_object(rattrs) {

      }
    }
  }
}

.
```

If a different idiom for safely descending into `.resource.attributes` works in your installed Vector, prefer it (simpler is better). Iterate until the test passes.

- [ ] **Step 2: Inputs** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/inputs.ndjson`:

```json
{"name": "POST /signup", "attributes": {"user.email": "new@x.com", "http.status": 200}, "resource": {"attributes": {"service.name": "web", "owner": "team@x.com"}}}
{"name": "GET /health", "attributes": {"http.status": 200}, "resource": {"attributes": {"service.name": "web"}}}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Expected outputs** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/expected.ndjson`:

```json
{"name": "POST /signup", "attributes": {"user.email": "[REDACTED-EMAIL]", "http.status": 200}, "resource": {"attributes": {"service.name": "web", "owner": "[REDACTED-EMAIL]"}}}
{"name": "GET /health", "attributes": {"http.status": 200}, "resource": {"attributes": {"service.name": "web"}}}
```

- [ ] **Step 4: Runner** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh`:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)"
ACTUAL="$DIR/.actual.ndjson"
vector vrl -p "$DIR/program.vrl" -i "$DIR/inputs.ndjson" -q -o > "$ACTUAL"
diff -u <(jq -c . "$DIR/expected.ndjson") <(jq -c . "$ACTUAL")
echo "redact_emails_traces VRL OK"
```

`chmod +x tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh`.

- [ ] **Step 5: Run, expect PASS.**

```bash
./tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh
```

If the VRL fails to compile, debug iteratively. Stick to the proven type-narrowing patterns from A6.

- [ ] **Step 6: Add transform to `templates/values.yaml.tpl`.** Append into the existing `transforms:` map (after `redact_emails_logs:`):

```yaml
    redact_emails_traces:
      type: remap
      inputs:
        - otlp_in.traces
      source: |
        email_re = r'[\w._%+\-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}'
        if is_object(.attributes) {
          attrs, _err = object(.attributes)
          if is_object(attrs) {
            .attributes = map_values(object!(attrs)) -> |v| {
              if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "${email_redaction_replacement}") } else { v }
            }
          }
        }
        if is_object(.resource) {
          res, _err = object(.resource)
          if is_object(res) && is_object(res.attributes) {
            rattrs, _err2 = object(res.attributes)
            if is_object(rattrs) {
              .resource.attributes = map_values(object!(rattrs)) -> |v| {
                if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "${email_redaction_replacement}") } else { v }
              }
            }
          }
        }
```

(If your VRL program in Step 1 uses a slightly different working idiom, mirror that idiom in the template — keep them in sync.)

NOTE: `${email_redaction_replacement}` is a Terraform `templatefile()` variable, not a literal.

- [ ] **Step 7: Update traces sink** in `templates/values.yaml.tpl`:

```yaml
    datadog_traces:
      type: datadog_traces
      inputs:
        - redact_emails_traces   # was: otlp_in.traces
```

- [ ] **Step 8: Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive`** — expected exit 0.

## Constraints

- **DO NOT run any git commands.** No `git add`, no `git commit`. The user handles git manually.
- **DO NOT** push, tag, open MRs.
- **DO NOT** run `terraform apply`, `kubectl`, `helm install`, anything that mutates infra.
- **DO NOT** create snapshot-test infrastructure (`tests/snapshots/` is OFF the table).
- VRL test execution via `vector` CLI is required.

Everything looks correct. Here is the report, Sir Charles of St Cheese.

---

**Status:** DONE

**VRL test result:**
```
redact_emails_traces VRL OK
```
Both span-level `attributes` and `resource.attributes` are correctly redacted. The no-email span passes through untouched.

**Template changes (`templates/values.yaml.tpl`):**
- Lines 65–89: Added `redact_emails_traces` remap transform under `transforms:`, reading from `otlp_in.traces`, walking `.attributes` and `.resource.attributes` with the proven type-narrowing pattern. Uses `${email_redaction_replacement}` Terraform templatefile variable.
- Line 100: Updated `datadog_traces` sink input from `otlp_in.traces` to `redact_emails_traces`.

**`terraform fmt` result:** Exit 0, no formatting issues.

**Divergence from plan VRL pattern:** None in logic. One minor divergence: the `expected.ndjson` file uses Vector's alphabetical key-sort order (the actual output order from `vector vrl`) rather than input insertion order. This is required for the `jq -c .` diff to match — both sides of the diff normalize through `jq`, and since Vector emits keys alphabetically, the expected file must reflect that. The program.vrl itself is identical to the plan.

**Self-review findings:**
- The `source:` block in the template does not end with a trailing `.` (the standalone dot that returns the event). This mirrors what `redact_emails_logs` does in the template — both omit it — and Vector's remap transform implicitly returns the mutated event, so this is fine and consistent.
- The VRL program file itself includes the trailing `.` (required for the standalone `vector vrl` runner which needs an explicit return value).
- No other issues found.

Prompt:
You are implementing Task A7: add the `redact_emails_traces` remap transform to the Vector helm values template, plus a VRL unit test. This walks span attributes AND resource.attributes.

## What's already in place

- Working directory: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector`
- `templates/values.yaml.tpl` has sources, drop_audit filter, redact_emails_logs remap, sinks. The `datadog_traces` sink currently reads directly from `otlp_in.traces`.
- `tests/vrl/drop_audit/` and `tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/` are passing.
- `vector` 0.55.0 CLI installed at `/opt/homebrew/bin/vector`. `jq` installed.

## Vector 0.55 VRL lessons (from prior tasks — apply these proactively)

1. **Path access is infallible.** `.path ?? "x"` is rejected with E651. Use `if is_string(.path) { string!(.path) } else { "" }` or equivalent type guard.
2. **Local-variable type narrowing required for `map_values` lambdas.** Direct `map_values(object!(.attributes))` chained with `replace(v, ...)` inside the lambda fails type checking. Use this pattern instead:

   ```vrl
   if is_object(.attributes) {
     attrs, _err = object(.attributes)
     if is_object(attrs) {
       .attributes = map_values(object!(attrs)) -> |v| {
         if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
       }
     }
   }
   ```

   Note: inside the `is_string(v)` guard, use `string!(v)` to narrow `v`'s type for `replace()`.

3. **Runner pattern:** `vector vrl -p program.vrl -i inputs.ndjson -q -o > .actual.ndjson`, then diff via `jq -c .` normalization. NOT `--no-prompt` (does not exist in 0.55).

## Task Description (verbatim from plan, with VRL/runner fixes baked in)

### Task A7: redact_emails_traces remap + VRL unit test

**Files:**
- Modify: `templates/values.yaml.tpl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/program.vrl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/inputs.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/expected.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh`

The OTLP-source span shape exposes `.attributes` for span-level attributes and `.resource.attributes` for resource-level. Walk both.

- [ ] **Step 1: VRL program** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/program.vrl`. Use the type-narrowing pattern proven in A6:

```vrl
email_re = r'[\w._%+\-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}'

if is_object(.attributes) {
  attrs, _err = object(.attributes)
  if is_object(attrs) {
    .attributes = map_values(object!(attrs)) -> |v| {
      if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
    }
  }
}

if is_object(.resource) {
  res, _err = object(.resource)
  if is_object(res) && is_object(res.attributes) {
    rattrs, _err2 = object(res.attributes)
    if is_object(rattrs) {
      .resource.attributes = map_values(object!(rattrs)) -> |v| {
        if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
      }
    }
  }
}

.
```

If a different idiom for safely descending into `.resource.attributes` works in your installed Vector, prefer it (simpler is better). Iterate until the test passes.

- [ ] **Step 2: Inputs** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/inputs.ndjson`:

```

`chmod +x tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh`.

- [ ] **Step 5: Run, expect PASS.**

```bash
./tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh

        }
        if is_object(.resource) {
          res, _err = object(.resource)
          if is_object(res) && is_object(res.attributes) {
            rattrs, _err2 = object(res.attributes)
            if is_object(rattrs) {

Updated task #15 status


Implement Task A8: redact_emails_metrics + VRL test

Prompt:
You are implementing Task A8: add the `redact_emails_metrics` remap transform to the Vector helm values template, plus a VRL unit test.

## What's already in place

- Working directory: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector`
- `templates/values.yaml.tpl` has sources, drop_audit, redact_emails_logs, redact_emails_traces, sinks. The `datadog_metrics` sink currently reads directly from `otlp_in.metrics`.
- `tests/vrl/{drop_audit,redact_emails_logs,redact_emails_traces}/` are all passing.
- `vector` 0.55.0 CLI installed at `/opt/homebrew/bin/vector`. `jq` installed.

## Vector 0.55 VRL lessons (apply proactively)

1. **Path access is infallible.** Use `if is_string(.path) { string!(.path) } else { "" }` instead of `.path ?? "x"`.
2. **Local-variable type narrowing required for `map_values` lambdas:**
   ```vrl
   if is_object(.attributes) {
     attrs, _err = object(.attributes)
     if is_object(attrs) {

         if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
       }
     }
   }
   ```
3. **Runner pattern:** `vector vrl -p program.vrl -i inputs.ndjson -q -o > .actual.ndjson`, diff via `jq -c .`.
4. **Expected outputs may need alphabetical key order** to match Vector's emitted output (jq -c normalizes whitespace but compares content as-given). If diff fails on key-order alone, reorder keys in `expected.ndjson` to alphabetical.

## Task Description

### Task A8: redact_emails_metrics remap + VRL unit test

**Files:**
- Modify: `templates/values.yaml.tpl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/program.vrl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/inputs.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/expected.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh`

For OTLP metrics, redaction targets `.attributes` (metric attributes / labels). Some metric shapes may also have `.resource.attributes` for resource-level — walk both for safety, mirroring traces.

- [ ] **Step 1: VRL program** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/program.vrl`:

```vrl
email_re = r'[\w._%+\-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}'

if is_object(.attributes) {
  attrs, _err = object(.attributes)
  if is_object(attrs) {
    .attributes = map_values(object!(attrs)) -> |v| {
      if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
    }
  }
}

if is_object(.resource) {
  res, _err = object(.resource)
  if is_object(res) && is_object(res.attributes) {
    rattrs, _err2 = object(res.attributes)
    if is_object(rattrs) {
      .resource.attributes = map_values(object!(rattrs)) -> |v| {
        if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
      }
    }
  }
}

.
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Inputs** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/inputs.ndjson`:

```json
{"name": "request.count", "value": 42, "attributes": {"submitted_by": "ops@x.com"}}
{"name": "cpu.usage", "value": 0.5, "attributes": {"host": "node-1"}}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Expected outputs** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/expected.ndjson`:

```json
{"name": "request.count", "value": 42, "attributes": {"submitted_by": "[REDACTED-EMAIL]"}}
{"name": "cpu.usage", "value": 0.5, "attributes": {"host": "node-1"}}
```

If the runner fails due to key-order mismatch, reorder these expected lines to alphabetical key order — Vector emits keys sorted, and jq's diff compares verbatim content after whitespace normalization.

- [ ] **Step 4: Runner** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh`:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)"
ACTUAL="$DIR/.actual.ndjson"
vector vrl -p "$DIR/program.vrl" -i "$DIR/inputs.ndjson" -q -o > "$ACTUAL"
diff -u <(jq -c . "$DIR/expected.ndjson") <(jq -c . "$ACTUAL")
echo "redact_emails_metrics VRL OK"
```

`chmod +x tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh`.

- [ ] **Step 5: Run, expect PASS.**

```bash

All four tests pass. Here's the summary, Sir Charles of St Cheese:

---

**Status:** DONE

**VRL test result:** PASS — `redact_emails_metrics VRL OK`. All four VRL tests pass (drop_audit, redact_emails_logs, redact_emails_traces, redact_emails_metrics).

**Template changes:**
- Added `redact_emails_metrics` remap transform at line 90 of `templates/values.yaml.tpl`, inserted after `redact_emails_traces`. It reads from `otlp_in.metrics` and redacts emails from both `.attributes` and `.resource.attributes` using the `${email_redaction_replacement}` template variable, mirroring the traces transform structure.
- Updated `datadog_metrics` sink input from `otlp_in.metrics` → `redact_emails_metrics` (line 131).

**`terraform fmt` result:** Exit 0, no formatting issues.

**Self-review findings:**
- Expected output key order was validated empirically by running Vector before writing `expected.ndjson` — keys come out alphabetically (`attributes`, `name`, `value`), matching what the diff comparison requires.
- The `redact_emails_metrics` transform in the template correctly omits the trailing `.` statement (unlike the VRL test program) — that's fine as Vector remap sources don't need an explicit final expression.
- No drift from the traces transform pattern; the metrics transform is structurally identical, intentional given the same OTLP attribute shape.

## Vector 0.55 VRL lessons (apply proactively)

1. **Path access is infallible.** Use `if is_string(.path) { string!(.path) } else { "" }` instead of `.path ?? "x"`.
2. **Local-variable type narrowing required for `map_values` lambdas:**
   ```vrl
   if is_object(.attributes) {
     attrs, _err = object(.attributes)
     if is_object(attrs) {
       .attributes = map_values(object!(attrs)) -> |v| {
         if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
       }
     }
   }
   ```
3. **Runner pattern:** `vector vrl -p program.vrl -i inputs.ndjson -q -o > .actual.ndjson`, diff via `jq -c .`.
4. **Expected outputs may need alphabetical key order** to match Vector's emitted output (jq -c normalizes whitespace but compares content as-given). If diff fails on key-order alone, reorder keys in `expected.ndjson` to alphabetical.

## Task Description

### Task A8: redact_emails_metrics remap + VRL unit test

**Files:**
- Modify: `templates/values.yaml.tpl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/program.vrl`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/inputs.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/expected.ndjson`
- Create: `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh`

For OTLP metrics, redaction targets `.attributes` (metric attributes / labels). Some metric shapes may also have `.resource.attributes` for resource-level — walk both for safety, mirroring traces.

- [ ] **Step 1: VRL program** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/program.vrl`:

```vrl
email_re = r'[\w._%+\-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}'

if is_object(.attributes) {
  attrs, _err = object(.attributes)
  if is_object(attrs) {
    .attributes = map_values(object!(attrs)) -> |v| {
      if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
    }
  }
}

if is_object(.resource) {
  res, _err = object(.resource)
  if is_object(res) && is_object(res.attributes) {
    rattrs, _err2 = object(res.attributes)
    if is_object(rattrs) {
      .resource.attributes = map_values(object!(rattrs)) -> |v| {
        if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "[REDACTED-EMAIL]") } else { v }
      }
    }
  }
}

.
```

- [ ] **Step 2: Inputs** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/inputs.ndjson`:

```json
{"name": "request.count", "value": 42, "attributes": {"submitted_by": "ops@x.com"}}
{"name": "cpu.usage", "value": 0.5, "attributes": {"host": "node-1"}}
```

- [ ] **Step 3: Expected outputs** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/expected.ndjson`:

```json
{"name": "request.count", "value": 42, "attributes": {"submitted_by": "[REDACTED-EMAIL]"}}
{"name": "cpu.usage", "value": 0.5, "attributes": {"host": "node-1"}}
```

If the runner fails due to key-order mismatch, reorder these expected lines to alphabetical key order — Vector emits keys sorted, and jq's diff compares verbatim content after whitespace normalization.

- [ ] **Step 4: Runner** at `tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh`:

```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -euo pipefail
DIR="$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")" && pwd)"
ACTUAL="$DIR/.actual.ndjson"
vector vrl -p "$DIR/program.vrl" -i "$DIR/inputs.ndjson" -q -o > "$ACTUAL"
diff -u <(jq -c . "$DIR/expected.ndjson") <(jq -c . "$ACTUAL")
echo "redact_emails_metrics VRL OK"
```

`chmod +x tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh`.

- [ ] **Step 5: Run, expect PASS.**

```bash
./tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh
```

- [ ] **Step 6: Add transform to `templates/values.yaml.tpl`.** Append into the existing `transforms:` map (after `redact_emails_traces:`):

```yaml
    redact_emails_metrics:
      type: remap
      inputs:
        - otlp_in.metrics
      source: |
        email_re = r'[\w._%+\-]+@[\w.-]+\.[A-Za-z]{2,}'
        if is_object(.attributes) {
          attrs, _err = object(.attributes)
          if is_object(attrs) {
            .attributes = map_values(object!(attrs)) -> |v| {
              if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "${email_redaction_replacement}") } else { v }
            }
          }
        }
        if is_object(.resource) {
          res, _err = object(.resource)
          if is_object(res) && is_object(res.attributes) {
            rattrs, _err2 = object(res.attributes)
            if is_object(rattrs) {
              .resource.attributes = map_values(object!(rattrs)) -> |v| {
                if is_string(v) { replace(string!(v), email_re, "${email_redaction_replacement}") } else { v }
              }
            }
          }
        }
```

- [ ] **Step 7: Update metrics sink:**

```yaml
    datadog_metrics:
      type: datadog_metrics
      inputs:
        - redact_emails_metrics   # was: otlp_in.metrics
```

- [ ] **Step 8: Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive`** — expected exit 0.

## Constraints

- **DO NOT run any git commands.**
- **DO NOT** push, tag, open MRs.
- **DO NOT** run `terraform apply`, `kubectl`, `helm install`, etc.
- **DO NOT** create snapshot-test infrastructure.

Updated task #16 status


Implement Task A9: gate email redaction on flag

Prompt:
You are implementing Task A9: gate the three `redact_emails_*` transforms on a `email_redaction_enabled` boolean templatefile() variable, and re-route the sinks accordingly when the flag is false.

## What's already in place

- Working directory: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector`
- `templates/values.yaml.tpl` currently always emits all three `redact_emails_*` transforms and wires sinks through them. The pipeline is:
  - `otlp_in.logs → drop_audit → redact_emails_logs → datadog_logs`
  - `otlp_in.traces → redact_emails_traces → datadog_traces`
  - `otlp_in.metrics → redact_emails_metrics → datadog_metrics`
- All four VRL tests pass.
- `variables.tf` has `email_redaction_enabled` (bool, default true) declared but it isn't yet plumbed through `templatefile()`.

## Goal of A9

When `email_redaction_enabled = false`, the rendered values must:
1. Omit the three `redact_emails_*` transform blocks entirely.
2. Wire sinks directly:
   - `datadog_logs.inputs = [drop_audit]` (drop_audit always runs — it's the audit filter, separate from email redaction)
   - `datadog_traces.inputs = [otlp_in.traces]`
   - `datadog_metrics.inputs = [otlp_in.metrics]`

When `email_redaction_enabled = true`, current behavior preserved — sinks consume from the redact transforms.

## Snapshot tests are SKIPPED

The plan referred to creating `tests/snapshots/values-no-redaction.yaml` and updating a snapshot runner — **DO NOT create snapshot test infrastructure**. Verification for this task is:

1. `terraform fmt -check -recursive` exits 0.
2. Manual ad-hoc renders via `templatefile()` against both flag values produce sensible YAML (you can run a one-shot Terraform apply against a tempdir like the snippet below — it does not deploy anything, just evaluates an output expression). **Do NOT commit any tempdir artifacts.**

Ad-hoc render snippet for verification (do not save this anywhere persistent):

```bash
TMP=$(mktemp -d) && cd "$TMP"
cat > main.tf <<EOF
output "rendered" {
  value = templatefile("/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector/templates/values.yaml.tpl", {
    replicas                    = 3
    requests_cpu                = "200m"
    requests_memory             = "256Mi"
    limits_cpu                  = "2"
    limits_memory               = "1Gi"
    datadog_site                = "datadoghq.com"
    email_redaction_enabled     = false
    email_redaction_replacement = "[REDACTED-EMAIL]"
  })
}
EOF
terraform init -backend=false >/dev/null && terraform apply -auto-approve >/dev/null && terraform output -raw rendered
cd / && rm -rf "$TMP"
```

Then re-run with `email_redaction_enabled = true` and confirm both renders look right.

## Implementation steps

- [ ] **Step 1: Edit `templates/values.yaml.tpl`** to wrap the three `redact_emails_*` transform blocks in a Terraform `%{ if email_redaction_enabled ~}` ... `%{ endif ~}` block. The `drop_audit` transform stays unconditional.

   Current shape (around lines 40-95) has all transforms ungated. Refactor to:

   ```yaml
     transforms:
       drop_audit:
         type: filter
         inputs:
           - otlp_in.logs
         condition: |
           ...
   %{ if email_redaction_enabled ~}
       redact_emails_logs:
         type: remap
         inputs:
           - drop_audit
         source: |
           ...
       redact_emails_traces:
         type: remap
         inputs:
           - otlp_in.traces
         source: |
           ...
       redact_emails_metrics:
         type: remap
         inputs:
           - otlp_in.metrics
         source: |
           ...
   %{ endif ~}
   ```

   Note: Terraform's `%{ if ... ~}` directive consumes a trailing newline — typically the block must be flush-left in the template (no leading whitespace before `%{`). The `~` after the directive trims preceding/following whitespace. If the rendered output looks weird (extra blank lines, lost indentation), adjust the `~` placement.

- [ ] **Step 2: Edit the sinks block** so `inputs` switches based on `email_redaction_enabled`. Use Terraform's ternary in the template:

   ```yaml
     sinks:
       datadog_logs:
         type: datadog_logs
         inputs:
           - ${ email_redaction_enabled ? "redact_emails_logs" : "drop_audit" }
         default_api_key: $${DATADOG_API_KEY}
         site: ${datadog_site}
       datadog_traces:
         type: datadog_traces
         inputs:
           - ${ email_redaction_enabled ? "redact_emails_traces" : "otlp_in.traces" }
         default_api_key: $${DATADOG_API_KEY}
         site: ${datadog_site}
       datadog_metrics:
         type: datadog_metrics
         inputs:
           - ${ email_redaction_enabled ? "redact_emails_metrics" : "otlp_in.metrics" }
         default_api_key: $${DATADOG_API_KEY}
         site: ${datadog_site}
   ```

- [ ] **Step 3: Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive`.** Exit 0 expected.

- [ ] **Step 4: Verify via ad-hoc render.** Use the snippet above with both `email_redaction_enabled = true` and `false`. Spot-check the rendered output:
   - `true` render: contains `redact_emails_logs`, `redact_emails_traces`, `redact_emails_metrics` blocks; sinks read from those.
   - `false` render: no `redact_emails_*` blocks anywhere in the output; `datadog_logs` reads from `drop_audit`, others read from `otlp_in.*`.
   - Both renders: `drop_audit` filter is present; YAML is valid (no broken indentation, no orphan `%{`/`~}` markers).

   Report any oddness.

- [ ] **Step 5: Re-run the existing VRL tests** to confirm no regression (only the template changed, but be safe):

   ```bash
   ./tests/vrl/drop_audit/run.sh
   ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/run.sh
   ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh
   ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh
   ```

   All four must still pass.

## Constraints

- **DO NOT run any git commands.**
- **DO NOT** push, tag, open MRs.
- **DO NOT** run `terraform apply` against any non-tempdir state. The tempdir trick in Step 4 evaluates a templatefile() output — no resources, no real apply. Clean up the tempdir.
- **DO NOT** create snapshot-test infrastructure (`tests/snapshots/`, `tests/render-snapshot.sh` are OFF the table).

## Spec / plan references

- Spec: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/docs/superpowers/specs/2026-05-05-vector-redaction-design.md` §3.2 (the `email_redaction_enabled` variable) and §4 (the pipeline shape)

## Report Format

- **Status:** DONE | DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT

- Both ad-hoc renders' verification: what was confirmed in each
- VRL tests re-run result

All four VRL tests pass. Here's the complete report, Sir Charles of St Cheese:

---

**Status:** DONE

**Template lines modified** (`templates/values.yaml.tpl`):
- Lines 48 and 116: Added `%{ if email_redaction_enabled ~}` and `%{ endif ~}` directives (flush-left, `~` trimmer on both) wrapping all three `redact_emails_*` transform blocks. The `drop_audit` transform at lines 41–47 remains unconditional.
- Lines 121, 127, 133: Replaced hardcoded sink input names with ternary interpolations — `${email_redaction_enabled ? "redact_emails_logs" : "drop_audit"}`, `${email_redaction_enabled ? "redact_emails_traces" : "otlp_in.traces"}`, `${email_redaction_enabled ? "redact_emails_metrics" : "otlp_in.metrics"}`.

**`terraform fmt` result:** Exit 0, no issues.

**Ad-hoc render verification:**

- `email_redaction_enabled = false`: No `redact_emails_*` blocks present. `datadog_logs` reads from `drop_audit`, `datadog_traces` reads from `otlp_in.traces`, `datadog_metrics` reads from `otlp_in.metrics`. YAML indentation is clean, no orphan directive markers.
- `email_redaction_enabled = true`: All three `redact_emails_*` blocks present with correct VRL source and proper `[REDACTED-EMAIL]` replacement strings. Sinks consume from the redact transforms. Indentation is clean, no extra blank lines from the `~` trimmer.

**VRL tests:** All four pass — `drop_audit`, `redact_emails_logs`, `redact_emails_traces`, `redact_emails_metrics`.

**Self-review findings:** No concerns. The flush-left placement of `%{ if ~}` / `%{ endif ~}` with the strip-whitespace trimmer on both sides produces clean YAML in both render paths. The `email_redaction_replacement` variable was already plumbed into `templatefile()` context (it was already used in the VRL source blocks), so no changes to any `.tf` files were needed — the task instruction's note about `variables.tf` having the variable declared but "not yet plumbed through `templatefile()`" appears to refer to the `email_redaction_enabled` bool itself being referenced in the template, which is now done.

- Working directory: `/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector`
- `templates/values.yaml.tpl` currently has the `drop_audit` filter with hardcoded condition:

  ```yaml
        condition: |
          msg = if is_string(.message) { string!(.message) } else { "" }
          !match(msg, r'Audit\s-\s.+') && !match(msg, r'"level":"audit"')
  ```

- `variables.tf` declares `audit_drop_patterns` (list of strings, default has the two literal patterns).
- `main.tf` does NOT yet exist — the `templatefile()` call hasn't been written yet. That's Task A12.

## Goal of A10

Replace the hardcoded condition body with a single template variable `${audit_drop_condition}` that callers compose from the patterns list. The composition logic is:

```hcl
local.audit_drop_condition = length(var.audit_drop_patterns) == 0 ? "true" : join(
  " && ",
  [for p in var.audit_drop_patterns : "!match(msg, r'${p}')"],
)
```

For an empty list, the condition is simply `true` (no patterns dropped). For 1+ patterns, it's a joined `!match(...)` chain.

Note: `main.tf` doesn't exist yet — Task A12 will introduce it and own this `local.audit_drop_condition` derivation. **For A10, ONLY change the template** to consume `${audit_drop_condition}`. The Terraform-side composition will be wired in A12.

## Implementation steps

- [ ] **Step 1: Edit `templates/values.yaml.tpl`** — replace the `condition: |` block of `drop_audit` with:

   ```yaml
         condition: |
           msg = if is_string(.message) { string!(.message) } else { "" }
           ${audit_drop_condition}
   ```

   The two-space-prefixed `${audit_drop_condition}` must be at the right indent level for the YAML literal-block scalar (`|`). The literal block consumes the indentation of the most-indented line as the YAML "indent" — keep the `${audit_drop_condition}` at the same column as the `msg =` line so its substitution lands cleanly within the condition body.

- [ ] **Step 2: Run `terraform fmt -check -recursive`.** Exit 0 expected.

- [ ] **Step 3: Verify via ad-hoc render.** Use the same tempdir snippet pattern as A9, but pass `audit_drop_condition` as a string to `templatefile()`. Two cases to check:

   **Case A (two patterns):**
   ```bash
   TMP=$(mktemp -d) && cd "$TMP"
   cat > main.tf <<EOF
   locals {
     patterns = ["Audit\\\\s-\\\\s.+", "\\\"level\\\":\\\"audit\\\""]
     audit_drop_condition = join(
       " && ",
       [for p in local.patterns : "!match(msg, r'\${p}')"],
     )
   }
   output "rendered" {
     value = templatefile("/Users/steve.briggs/projects/IAC/terraform/internal-modules/kubernetes/monitoring/vector/templates/values.yaml.tpl", {
       replicas                    = 3
       requests_cpu                = "200m"
       requests_memory             = "256Mi"
       limits_cpu                  = "2"
       limits_memory               = "1Gi"
       datadog_site                = "datadoghq.com"
       email_redaction_enabled     = true
       email_redaction_replacement = "[REDACTED-EMAIL]"
       audit_drop_condition        = local.audit_drop_condition
     })
   }
   EOF
   terraform init -backend=false >/dev/null && terraform apply -auto-approve >/dev/null && terraform output -raw rendered | grep -A 1 "msg = if"
   cd / && rm -rf "$TMP"
   ```

   The shell heredoc escaping for embedded `$` and `\` is tricky — be careful. Confirm the rendered `condition: |` block contains:

   ```
   msg = if is_string(.message) { string!(.message) } else { "" }
   !match(msg, r'Audit\s-\s.+') && !match(msg, r'"level":"audit"')
   ```

   Equivalent to the previous hardcoded form.

   **Case B (three patterns):** Same as A but with `local.patterns = ["Audit\\\\s-\\\\s.+", "\\\"level\\\":\\\"audit\\\"", "pattern_three"]`. The rendered condition should now be a three-clause `&&` chain:

   ```
   !match(msg, r'Audit\s-\s.+') && !match(msg, r'"level":"audit"') && !match(msg, r'pattern_three')
   ```

   If the heredoc escaping is too painful to debug, instead just write a small `verify.tf` directly inside a tempdir, no shell heredoc, and run it. Whatever works.

- [ ] **Step 4: Re-run all four VRL tests** to confirm no regression. The VRL test programs use the hardcoded patterns directly (they don't go through the template), so they should still pass:

   ```bash
   ./tests/vrl/drop_audit/run.sh
   ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_logs/run.sh
   ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_traces/run.sh
   ./tests/vrl/redact_emails_metrics/run.sh
   ```

## Constraints

- **DO NOT run any git commands.**
- **DO NOT** push, tag, open MRs.
- **DO NOT** run `terraform apply` against any non-tempdir state. Clean up tempdirs.
- **DO NOT** create snapshot-test infrastructure (`tests/snapshots/`, snapshot runners — OFF the table).
- **DO NOT** create `main.tf` yet — that's Task A12.
