The last failure of the run: `MESH_BROKER_FILE=/var/lib/mesh/builder/broker`
reported as "something secret-shaped, which the broker would see".
`/` is in the base64 alphabet, so any absolute path of 24 characters or
more matched the pattern meant to catch a sealed value. An absolute path
is a *reference* to a secret and naming one is the whole design — the
mesh delivers a credential as a file and a module says where.
Excluded explicitly rather than by loosening the pattern, and checked
both ways: a real sealed value and a base64 blob are still flagged, a
relative path still is, only an absolute path is passed over.
Worth the words in the comment. A check that fires on the right shape
for the wrong reason is worse than none — it is the one that gets
suppressed, and then it is not there when it is right.
It surfaced now because tests in this file share one mesh: the builder
was assigned by an earlier test and appears in this one's declaration.
