- Developers using coding agents to manage infrastructure

- A production secret overwrite pauses for Touch ID; the agent receives a fingerprint rather than the secret.
Field notes
Beyond the example flow, the page describes a macOS authority that checks requests against user policy, prompts for Touch ID before production overwrites, new destinations, or reveals, and records decisions in a hash-chained audit log. It says a first-build rotation planner covers Railway, Vercel, and Convex deployments, with service-attribution guesses that users confirm or correct; Railway is identified as the first platform being tested.
