privacy: fix a real leak - global IPv6 addresses were uploaded verbatim
Setting out to build the machine-readable schema, the first step was checking whether the anonymizer covers the fields the schema declares sensitive. It did not, and five identifying values were going out at the `balanced` level: networks[].link.addresses[].addr the device's own global IPv6 address networks[].link.routes[].gateway the ISP allocation networks[].link.dns.servers[] the configured resolver private_dns_hostname an internal hostname search_domains[] the internal domain The settings screen describes that level as pseudonymizing addresses. Root cause: classification keyed on field names, and the schema's actual names were never added to the table. Every existing test passed, because each checked a field somebody had remembered to write a case for - an unfalsifiable design for a privacy control. So beyond adding the names, classification now falls back to the *value* when the name is unknown: anything shaped like an IPv4/IPv6 address or a MAC is treated as one. Hostnames deliberately are not inferred by shape, since train.udp_updown is indistinguishable from a domain and mangling a test type would corrupt the document to protect nothing. LeakTest is the guard, and is written to fail for fields nobody thought of: it plants identifying values wherever one can occur and asserts none survive. It also pins that RFC1918 addresses stay readable, so it cannot pass by over-redacting. Route prefixes and :: needed care - 0.0.0.0/0 must stay itself or a routing table becomes unreadable for no privacy gain. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

// Package privacy implements the anonymization contract of measurement-schema.md §8.
|

//
|

// The threat model is specific. An engineer running their own server wants the full document —
|
||||
// SSIDs and MACs are what make a run useful a week later. Someone measuring against a stranger's
|
||||
// server wants the numbers to survive and the identifiers not to. So this is a *transform*, not a
|
||||
// filter: the output is still a valid measurement document with the same tests, metrics and
|
||||
// findings; only the identifying scalars change, and consistently, so "same SSID as last run" is
|
||||
// still answerable from pseudonyms alone.
|
||||
//
|
||||
// Two properties are load-bearing and are what the tests pin:
|
||||
// - Consistency within a document: one input value always maps to one pseudonym, so
|
||||
// correlations inside a run survive.
|
||||
// - No consistency *across* documents unless the user asks for it: the salt is per-run by
|
||||
// default, so pseudonyms cannot be used to track a device between uploads. A stable salt is
|
||||
// opt-in (`Salt.stable`) for people diffing their own history on their own server.
