How the pattern works
(?:sk|pk|rk) matches one of the three key types. _(?:test|live)_ matches the mode separator. [A-Za-z0-9]{24,} matches the random suffix — Stripe's keys are at least 24 characters, sometimes longer for restricted keys. The pattern catches keys exposed in source code, logs, or chat transcripts.
