What you'll find here

The environment variables that configure Craik's read-only v0.1.0 GitHub adapter — and the token-handling boundary.

Read-only in v0.1.0.

Tokens are only sent in the Authorization header. Craik redacts token-shaped values from stored state and does not print configured tokens.
