Dependency-free and runnable on its own (`python noteguard/deid.py`).
If `presidio-analyzer` + a spaCy model are installed the module upgrades
free-text PERSON/LOCATION detection automatically; the rule + vault layer
below always runs without them.
Design:
- NHS-aware recognisers (NHS number, GMC/NMC, postcode, DOB, email, phone)
- vault of known identifiers from patients.csv + admissions.csv so redaction
is exact AND measurable
- patient-consistent surrogates (same original β same token across notes)
- DOB date-shift (kept clinically plausible); other identifiers tokenised
- reidentify() restores originals for the CLINICIAN's eyes only
- assert_clean() is the hard guarantee that no identifier reaches the model
