abstract: >-
  Redacta replaces patient identifiers in medical and clinical text
  with labelled tokens before AI processing, using deterministic
  pattern matching (including Modulus-11 NHS number validation) and
  agent-based reasoning, while preserving clinical meaning. Supports
  HIPAA Safe Harbor mode and local round-trip re-identification.
