Security

• Session security: The secret key is regenerated on every startup, so old sessions are invalidated after a restart.
• API token auth: Each user has an independent API token that inherits their role.
• DPoP signing: Every request to the upstream API is signed with a per-account EC private key.
• Database isolation: Data is stored in ~/.9alma/, untouched by updates.

---

Configuration

All configuration can be changed from the Settings page (superadmin only):
