Safety and backups
Protect hub data, recovery state, and synchronized worktrees.
The hub stores plaintext and inherits the host's filesystem permissions, disk encryption, and backup policy. SSH authenticates the machine and encrypts transport; Code Folder Sync does not add end-to-end encryption.
Keep hub state, peer state, journals, witnesses, and backups outside the synchronized root. Preserve immutable objects, accepted event history, conflict records, and recovery copies by default.
Use independent backups for important source code. Synchronization improves availability, but it is not a substitute for versioned backup retention or Git remotes.
