🔒 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:

Jenkins Pipeline Trigger: PR creation should trigger multibranch pipeline
Secret Scan Stage: TruffleHog should scan local workspace (trufflehog filesystem . --fail)
Multiple Secret Detection: Should detect 8+ different types of secrets
Build Failure: Pipeline should fail at "Secret Scan" stage
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:

Remove all test secrets from server.js
Update PR to pass security scan
Merge clean code into development
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.
