Answer

The player whose hidden card was seen chooses the remedy: they may leave the card as-is (opponent now knows what it is) or re-randomize it by swapping it with another random Hidden card from their hand, if one is available.

If re-randomizing: the revealed card returns to hand, a different Hidden card is placed face-down in the same spot, and play continues. If they have no other cards in hand, their only options are to leave it as-is or shuffle the revealed card back into the deck (losing it). The recycled rune used to Hide the card stays recycled no matter which remedy is chosen. This matches — the remedy decision belongs to the player whose private information was exposed.
