# PDIAP-11962 - Closure of secret scanning alerts

## Status

- Backlog item under review for future work.
- Earlier alert-closure process appears partially completed, but two Google API Key alerts remain open.

---

## Current Findings

- David found an October 9, 2025 email confirming the prior submission.
- Follow-up shows Matthew closed the earlier alerts/story on March 5, 2026.
- Two Google API Key alerts remain open and were not part of that closure.
- Those alerts appear tied to an old `MockPageViewWithHiddenToggle` commit from April 18, 2025, not newly introduced REST-story work.
- Google API Key rotation is not owned by David/XFlow directly; backend support or clarification may be needed if rotation/invalidating is required.

## Historical Slack Context

- October 2025 Slack context ties this story to `PDIAP-11573 - Remediate secret scanning alerts in XFlow iOS SDK`.
- The intended sequence was:
  1. report inactive secrets through the SSDLC/AAVD process,
  2. use `PDIAP-11961` to handle invalidation/rotation of still-active Google API keys,
  3. use `PDIAP-11962` to close the GitHub alerts after `PDIAP-11961` is completed.
- Slack context from October 10, 2025 says inactive secrets were reported in `ESWR-35407`, `PDIAP-11961` was created for active-secret invalidation, and `PDIAP-11962` was created to manage alert closure after invalidation.
- Slack context from November 19, 2025 says the secret-remediation alerts were still present and none had been marked resolved at that time.
- Treat `PDIAP-11962` as the closure/follow-up story, not the rotation/invalidation story itself.
