6. Specific Risk Acknowledgments

By using the Software, you specifically acknowledge and accept the following risks:

6.1 File System Operations

The Software reads and writes files within your project workspace and may, through companion plugins or deployment scripts, interact with files outside the project root (e.g., website repositories, temporary directories). File system operations may result in data loss, file corruption, or unintended modifications.

6.2 AI Agent Autonomy

AI agents operating within the IDE may execute actions including file creation, modification, deletion, and shell commands. While the Software provides scope-limiting rules, enforcement depends on the IDE's sandbox and your approval of requested permissions. AI agents may produce unexpected or unintended results.

The Software includes features for deploying content to GitHub, GitHub Pages, and other platforms. Deployment actions are irreversible once executed. You are responsible for reviewing all content before deployment and for any consequences of publication.

6.4 Credential Exposure

The Software operates in an environment where API keys, tokens, and credentials may be present. Despite security measures (`.gitignore` rules, secret management guidance), credential exposure may occur through misconfiguration, human error, or software defects. You are responsible for credential security and rotation.

The Software may invoke third-party tools (Playwright, Git, Node.js packages) that are not developed or controlled by us. Third-party tools may contain vulnerabilities, behave unexpectedly, or introduce security risks.
