Blender sanitized support bundle

Collect locally

1. Confirm the issue, intended recipient, and minimum evidence needed to reproduce or diagnose it.
2. Collect diagnostics into a local, access-restricted working directory. Keep the original collection private and unchanged.
3. Record collection time, tool and application versions, included file names, and a cryptographic hash for each original artifact. Do not collect unrelated scene content or user data.

Create a shareable derivative

1. Copy only necessary artifacts into a separate staging directory. Never sanitize in place.
2. Remove or replace credentials, tokens, cookies, keys, restricted or signed URLs, environment-variable values, absolute home paths, private host names and addresses, unrelated UI, proprietary asset or project names, and personal information.
3. Review command lines, stack traces, metadata, manifests, filenames, embedded paths, thumbnails, screenshots, and scene-linked dependencies; visible text is not the only disclosure surface.
4. Crop or recreate screenshots when blurring would leave recoverable detail. Substitute minimal reproduction assets for proprietary scene content when possible.
5. Use stable placeholders such as <HOME>, <HOST>, and <ASSET> when their relationships matter to diagnosis. Do not invent replacement values that could be mistaken for real evidence.
