Security
- Token encryption: AES-256-CBC, IV stored alongside ciphertext
- Key derivation:
SHA-256(random-salt + hostname + "-" + username)— the 32-byte random salt is generated once and stored at~/.openclaw/.picsee_salt(mode0600), making the key unpredictable even if hostname/username are known - File permissions:
0600on both token and salt files
