Review signals: 80 hardcoded secret.

Reviewed as expected for a test run: attempted writes that failed, so nothing was written.

Gitleaks found a possible hardcoded secret; value withheld. 11 distinct locations. 80 findings.

OSV scanned supported lockfiles; unpinned dependencies and unsupported formats are outside this check.

A short run cannot establish that code is safe.

Connections show IP addresses; proxies can hide the final hostname.

Tracing covers dispatched commands and their children, not the whole OS; guest root can interfere with tracing.
