Design context for reports

Some things below are intentional, documented tradeoffs of a single-user, localhost-bound tool — not bugs on their own, but worth knowing before filing:

  • No authentication. Anyone who can reach the listening address (default 127.0.0.1:8090, not exposed to the network) can trigger workflow runs — which is arbitrary code execution via Docker — and manage secrets. If you find a way to reach it from off-box despite the 127.0.0.1 bind, or a way to escalate beyond what an authenticated local user already could do, that's worth reporting.
  • Secrets at rest: encrypted with AES-256-GCM; the key lives at $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/local-action/seed.key (0600), generated on first run.
  • Secrets in use: decrypted values are written to a short-lived temp dotenv file (0600) only for the duration of a run, then deleted.

Reports that these boundaries can be crossed (key extraction without local file access, secret leakage after a run completes, binding escaping 127.0.0.1 unexpectedly, etc.) are exactly what this policy is for.
