What a server log or a traceback carries: addresses, machine identifiers, and the credentials that end up in them by accident. Assembled for pasting an incident into a model, where the log is the payload and the secret is the accident. The URL is left out for that reason: a token inside a URL sits within the URL span, the URL starts first, and no ordering saves the token. Losing the URL costs less than leaking the key.
