 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-11-13
+
+- Eliminated Bandit hardcoded-secret findings by replacing literal JWT tokens and passwords across auth/security tests with randomized helpers drawn from `tests/utils/security.py`, ensuring fixtures still assert expected behaviours.
+- Centralized Bandit configuration in `pyproject.toml`, reran `bandit -c pyproject.toml -r calminer tests`, and verified the scan now reports zero issues.
+- Updated `.github/instructions/TODO.md` and `.github/instructions/DONE.md` to reflect the completed security scan remediation workflow.
+
 ## 2025-11-12
 
 - Diagnosed admin bootstrap failure caused by legacy `roles` schema, added Alembic migration `20251112_00_add_roles_metadata_columns.py` to backfill `display_name`, `description`, `created_at`, and `updated_at`, and verified the migration via full pytest run in the activated `.venv`.
