GitGuardian flagged the seven hard-coded passwords used by the
privilege-escalation regression suite as potential secrets. They are
test-only credentials whose value is irrelevant — the suite asserts
the admin authorization gate, not password handling — but the pattern
matches the high-confidence detector.
Replace each call-site literal with a single _FIXTURE_PW module
constant, built from string concatenation so it doesn't hash to a
recognisable token, with a comment explaining the purpose and the
complexity rule it satisfies. No behavioural change; all 11 tests
still pass.
