# 🔒 Feature: Enhanced TruffleHog Secret Detection Testing

## Purpose
This feature branch contains **intentional test secrets** to validate our enhanced TruffleHog configuration and ensure proper secret detection in our DevSecOps CI/CD pipeline.

## Changes Made
- ✅ Added comprehensive test secrets to `backend/server.js`:
  - AWS Access Key & Secret Access Key
  - GitHub Personal Access Token
  - Database Password
  - JWT Secret Key
  - Stripe Secret Key
  - SendGrid API Key
  - Slack Webhook URL
  - MongoDB Connection String

## Expected DevSecOps Pipeline Behavior
🚨 **This PR should FAIL the Jenkins build** due to secret detection:

1. **Jenkins Pipeline Trigger**: PR creation should trigger multibranch pipeline
2. **Secret Scan Stage**: TruffleHog should scan local workspace (`trufflehog filesystem . --fail`)
3. **Multiple Secret Detection**: Should detect 8+ different types of secrets
4. **Build Failure**: Pipeline should fail at "Secret Scan" stage
5. **Security Gate**: PR should be blocked from merging

## DevSecOps Learning Objectives
This feature validates our security controls:
- ✅ Local workspace scanning (vs remote GitHub scanning)
- ✅ Multiple secret pattern detection
- ✅ CI/CD security gate enforcement
- ✅ Automated security failure notifications

## Merge Strategy
**Target Branch**: `development`

## Post-Validation Steps
After confirming TruffleHog detection works:
1. Remove all test secrets from `server.js`
2. Update PR to pass security scan
3. Merge clean code into development
4. Document security scanning success

**⚠️ SECURITY WARNING: This PR contains test secrets and should NOT be merged until all secrets are removed!**

**📚 DevSecOps Learning**: This demonstrates "shift-left" security practices by catching secrets early in the development cycle.
