Security and AI teams both generate high-volume, sensitive telemetry: SOC network logs on one side, LLM application traces on the other. Both need the same discipline before they touch a third-party API, validate the shape, strip what shouldn't leave the boundary, then enrich and analyze. This is a reference implementation of that discipline, built to be read end-to-end in one sitting: schema validation catches malformed input, a zero-trust redaction engine runs before dispatch (not after), enrichment degrades gracefully to mock data offline, and everything is covered by tests that mock every external call, so pytest never needs a live API key.
