Scanning a file containing a HashiCorp Vault access token with ggshield passes clean. The client does the scanning but the detection patterns live in GitGuardian's server-side detection engine, which simply had no pattern for this token shape.

Fixed server-side in GitGuardian's detection engine, no client update needed. If Vault tokens are slipping through an older scan, the fix is already live in the current engine.
