"""Parse a DNS CAA record string into its components."""
parts = record_string.split()
flags = int(parts[0])
tag = parts[1]
value = parts[2]
return flags, tag, value

class SecretRedactor(logging.Filter):
SENSITIVE_KEYS = {"password", "token", "secret", "api_key"}
def filter(self, record: logging.LogRecord) -> bool:
if isinstance(record.msg, dict):
