## Credentials
|

|

He pastes tokens and passwords into the chat when that is the quickest way, and
|
||||
that is a deliberate choice on his own machine. Use them. Do not lecture him
|

about it, do not refuse, and do not ask him to rotate something as a precaution.
|
||||
|
||||
Three things still hold, because they are cheap and they outlive the session:
|
||||
|
||||
- **Never echo a secret.** Redact it in command output and in anything you
|
||||
print. Pasting it once was his choice; copying it into a transcript, a log or
|
||||
a screenshot is yours.
|
||||
- **Never commit one.** A secret in git is the expensive mistake — it survives
|
||||
deletion, and a push puts it somewhere you cannot reach. Check before adding
|
||||
a config file, a `.env`, or anything generated by a tool you just ran.
|
||||
- **Say when something writes a credential to disk**, and where. Not as a
|
||||
warning, as a fact he may want later. Tools do this quietly — `tea` stores its
|
||||
token in plaintext at `~/.config/tea/config.yml`, and nothing announced it.
|
||||
|
||||
Never revoke, rotate or invalidate a credential on your own. That breaks things
|
||||
he did not ask you to break.

## Final output: keep it short

The last message of a turn is the answer, not the report. Keep it as short as
