pitboard-core 0.1.4

The engine behind pitboard: parking and restoring Claude Code logins. Serves pitboard's own front ends.
Documentation
//! The macOS backend. Every call execs `/usr/bin/security`, the only application the
//! item's access list trusts.
//!
//! Measured on throwaway items: a foreign in-process read adds the caller to that list, and
//! a foreign in-process write replaces the item's partition list, after which every read by
//! `/usr/bin/security` takes 1-3 seconds instead of 0.02, a cost Claude Code then pays on
//! every credential re-read. A write through `security -U` changes only the item's mtime.
