This is an automated cherry-pick of #2106

With log redaction enabled, RPCContext.String() still prints raw region start/end keys in logs, request errors, and backoff warnings. Related region-error and read timestamp validation logs can also expose keys or request values.

Add log-only redaction helpers for region metadata and errors, and redact full request bodies in read timestamp validation logs. The helpers preserve diagnostic region/store metadata and leave the original protobuf values intact. Regression tests cover enabled and marker modes, redaction-disabled behavior, and the region epoch warning path.

Compatibility: this changes logging behavior for TiKV and CSE callers without changing request routing, wire payloads, or existing client APIs used by TiDB, TiCDC, and BR.

Validation with Go 1.25.14:

  • go test -race --tags=intest ./util/redact ./internal/locate — passed, including the full locate suite.
  • gofmt -l on all five touched Go files — clean.
  • git diff --check upstream/master...HEAD — clean.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Security

    • Sensitive region and request metadata is now redacted in applicable error messages and diagnostic output.
    • Non-sensitive context, including region, store, and address information, remains available while secret keys are masked.
    • Redaction can be configured, and original metadata remains unchanged.
  • Reliability

    • Improved protection for epoch-mismatch, region, and unavailable-peer error reporting without changing control flow or public API behavior.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds redaction helpers for region metadata, request stringers, and region errors. Region-cache formatting and region-request diagnostics now use these helpers. Tests cover redaction modes, preserved metadata, and source immutability.

Changes: Region Log Redaction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Redaction helpers and tests
util/redact/redact.go, util/redact/redact_test.go
Added helpers that redact non-empty keys in region metadata, epoch-mismatch errors, region errors, and stringers. Tests cover disabled, enabled, and marker modes, including nil inputs and source immutability.
Region log call sites and coverage
internal/locate/region_cache.go, internal/locate/region_request.go, internal/locate/region_cache_test.go
Region-cache formatting and region-request diagnostics now use redaction helpers. Tests verify redacted log output and RPCContext.String behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c542c

The changed logs protect request bodies, and no current merge-blocking failure is established. Caller-level regression tests would strengthen that protection.

Review comments at @internal/locate/region_request.go:
- Line 480: Add the missing github.com/tikv/client-go/v2/util/redact import to
the import block of the internal/locate package so redact.Stringer,
redact.EpochNotMatch, and redact.RegionError resolve at all existing call sites.

Review comments at @util/redact/redact_test.go:
- Around line 14-38: Remove the entire
TestRedactKeyErrSharedLockLostAndLockUpgradeConflict test, including its setup
and assertions, because it references unavailable kvproto types and fields and
tests unsupported RedactKeyErrIfNecessary behavior. Keep the kvrpcpb import if
it remains used by TestRedactStringer.

Comment thread internal/locate/region_request.go Resolved
Comment thread util/redact/redact_test.go Resolved
The automated cherry-pick of tikv#2106 did not compile on this branch:

- internal/locate/region_request.go calls redact.Stringer,
  redact.EpochNotMatch and redact.RegionError but never imported
  github.com/tikv/client-go/v2/util/redact, so the whole package failed to
  build with "undefined: redact".
- util/redact/redact_test.go brought over
  TestRedactKeyErrSharedLockLostAndLockUpgradeConflict, which was actually
  added by tikv#2014 (txnkv: support shared lock upgrades) and is unrelated to
  tikv#2106. That PR is not backported to tidb-8.5 and the kvproto pinned here
  has no SharedLockLost / LockUpgradeConflict types, and
  RedactKeyErrIfNecessary does not redact those fields on this branch, so
  the test could not type-check.

Add the missing import and drop the unrelated test. The remaining diff now
matches upstream 56e5933 exactly.

Validated with Go 1.25.14:
- go build ./...
- go test --tags=intest ./util/redact/ ./internal/locate/
- go test -race --tags=intest ./util/redact/
- golangci-lint v2.6 run ./... -> 0 issues

Add caller-level assertions for the redacted request logs.

TestRedactStringer only verifies the helper. It does not verify that SendReqAsync and SendReqCtx pass redact.Stringer(req.Req.(fmt.Stringer)) to the "validate read ts failed for request" log. A future change to either caller could log req.Req and expose the request body while this test still passes. Add focused caller-level assertions for both paths.

Add focused assertions to TestRedactStringer covering both SendReqAsync and

redact.Stringer(req.Req.(fmt.Stringer)) rather than the raw request and
