@natorion I currently think it makes sense to add this as an option aligning with DevTools. PTAL |

Is this enabled or disabled by default? I am not sure we want to have redaction enabled by default - that sounds a like a box of surprises. If enabled we should also clearly indicate/state how it can turned off via the settings. Let's make srue that agents can self fix the problem. |

Changed to disabled by default. |
This PR adds a CLI flag to enable redacting network headers in the same way they are redacted in DevTools. Note that sometimes it might prevent the agent from properly analysing network issues. Pass `--redact-headers=false` to revert to the previous behavior.
