The original claim in the code dump is that no ML tools are used at all and the tool is just leaning on Playwright to automate specific actions on a website.

The CEO here is claiming that the ML code is being run outside this code base and that the original claim is being made by someone who doesn't know how the code works.

The CEO's mention of sanitized code isn't as clear to me, that can mean different things. Compiled code can be considered sanitized since it likely isn't human readable, obfuscated code makes that harder, and removing some code all together would be the most effective. The problem with removing code all together is that you would still find code paths that just can't be executed at all, leaving some trail of what code was removed. That wouldn't leak any secrets obviously, but would support the argument that code has been removed and the codebase is being misread.
