md - **Interactive personal setup:** if the current CLI exposes an interactive login/config flow, complete it in the user's terminal. Otherwise have the user enter the key directly in a protected local editor or secret manager, outside the agent transcript. Keep `~/.config/nudocs` mode `0700` and its API-key file mode `0600`. - **Protected environment setup:** use `NUDOCS_API_KEY` only when it is already supplied through protected local or CI secret storage. Never ask the user to paste the key into chat, put it in a command argument, echo it into a file, display it with `nudocs config`, or print environment/config contents. Verify authentication through behavior such as a bounded `nudocs list`, not by inspecting the secret. ## Discover the installed CLI contract
