These boundaries are part of the product and prevent the page from implying unverified capability.
- Always review a sanitized HAR before sharing it; uncommon secrets can exist in names, paths, timings, sizes, or unsupported extension fields.
- Response bodies are removed rather than selectively interpreted.
- Third-party classification uses a conservative hostname approximation, not the Public Suffix List.
- The source HAR is never modified, and an identical output path is rejected.
- No network access, upload, telemetry, account, or browser integration is used.
