Jev The Janitor

Watch out

Redaction is described as best-effort and format by format, and the README spends most of its length enumerating exactly which name forms are not matched: any joiner other than whitespace, underscore, hyphen, dot, slash or dash, the surname-first form, a middle initial, the run-together spelling and emphasis inside a name. Forms your notes actually use have to be added to your own denylist. The payload is still substantial by default: the first 16,000 characters of each body, plus the titles of the 80 closest sibling notes, which is a lot of prose about your vault leaving the machine. The over-redaction errs safe rather than silent: a ten-digit run in a filename becomes [PHONE], and the report's own path column stays local. The pre-flight estimate is not a guarantee. The README reports a live run whose bill came in 29 percent over the pessimistic end of the estimate, because short notes dense with dates, numbers and links tokenize far more tightly than prose. Ages come from frontmatter where it parses and fall back to filesystem mtime otherwise, which resets on clone, move or restore until the first --apply stamp records it. The keyword fixture used by --offline is not Jev. Copy reviewed against the repository README on 2026-10-04, not from running it.
