What
Adds a short section to docs/configuration.md describing what the hardcoded-secret check flags, what it deliberately ignores, and the one known limit (unquoted all-letter YAML values).
Why
#635 (all-alphabetic unquoted YAML secret) cannot be detected precisely:
password: correcthorsebatteryis indistinguishable from references likesecret: kubernetesortoken: optional; flagging them would flood Kubernetes/Compose files. The remaining sub-items of #625 were fixed in #636, so both issues are closed as not planned with this documented limit.Testing
