## Security Notes

No matching local secret-handling manifest was found for root. Nucleus package metadata is still published here so future coverage has a stable package URL.



## Configuration and credential file locations

These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials. Automic Vault can use them as review targets for secret scanning, migration, and command approval.


## Configuration files

- Unix: $ROOTSYS/etc/system.rootrc, ~/.rootrc, ./.rootrc
