What it means

The content you proposed contains a Fastpad redaction placeholder — text of the form `[REDACTED_*]` that the egress filter substituted for a real secret when you read it.

What to do

Remove the placeholder from your proposed text. Leave the original block untouched where the secret lives.

Why it works this way

Secrets are redacted on EGRESS, never in the document. Writing a placeholder back would replace the real value with the mask and destroy it permanently.
