A dated record of one change, kept so the writing that cites it can be checked. Compiled from the sources listed below by the research run, not written for reading. The judgment lives in the issues that cite it, below.

2026-10-13-heypi-older-admin-applications-already-enabled-authentication-by-default

Older admin applications already enabled authentication by default. The rewritten admin server gained required non-loopback bearer-token authentication on 2026-07-10, included in 0.3.0-beta.0. The older 0.1.3 and 0.2.0-beta.0 admin applications already had authentication enabled by default. Current admin construction is opt-in, defaults to 127.0.0.1 and refuses non-loopback startup without a token; wildcard bindings also require configured hosts. The secret-submission route is handled before the general bearer check and has its own request/host handling, so the token statement must not be generalized to every endpoint.

Channel: tagged-release legacy 0.1.3; preview-or-beta old beta.0 and current 0.3 beta; historical correction, no new advisory. Half: both. Date: 2026-06-04 (legacy 0.1.3); rewritten-server fix 2026-07-10; factual correction for the 2026-10-13 profile.

Operator consequence: Withdraw the earlier profile’s categorical pre-0.3 unauthenticated-admin allegation and blanket disclosure/rotation advice. Only an independently verified exposed revision or deployment could justify that advice. For current beta administration, retain loopback or explicitly configure token/hosts and review the secret handoff separately. This corrects a factual error; it is not an October fix or a new security advisory.
