License

The repository provides the software under the MIT License, whose text grants use without charge.Read 11 Oct 2026 · github.com

Access modes

For public hostnames, the README instructs users to configure Google OAuth and an allowed email; trusted-network mode is described for private networks.Read 4 Oct 2026 · github.com

Connections

A lightweight Rust agent connects to the web service over an outbound encrypted connection, so machines need no inbound port.Read 11 Oct 2026 · github.com

Data handling

Terminal output is not persisted or sent to observability services; output and replay checkpoints remain memory-only and bounded.Read 4 Oct 2026 · github.com
