Description

Proposal: Create a centralized PII scrubber

Components use wil:TraceLoggingProvider for logging and telemetry through WindowsAppRuntimeInsights.h. We want the centralized infrastructure behind that to strip PII before the logging write op and the telemetry upload.

Rationale

  • This way, the scrubbing code doesn't have to be duplicated.

Additional info

MRT Core currently is excluding file names and file paths in its logging due to the need to scrub PII. It is ready to use this feature once it is available.
