control_character

A policy diagnostic from deedglass policy lint and the policy routes.

Severity: error

A string contains a control character, a bidirectional control character or an invisible formatting character (like U+200B, a zero-width space). These can make text display differently from what it says, so a reviewer could approve something other than what runs. Tabs are allowed in descriptions only.
