CSV validation reports should omit raw data by default

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer argues that CSV quality reports should not include the actual values that failed validation, to prevent data leaks. The proposed design uses location and reason codes, with values only included via an explicit option. The approach also supports reproducibility through hashes and offline operation with no external dependencies.

Meridian48 take
The principle of data minimization in error reporting is sound, but the tool's reliance on Python 3.10+ and memory-bound processing limits its practical adoption.
