 Do not print raw bearer tokens, gateway session tokens, credential headers, environment variables, or secret values while following this runbook. The APIs below return redacted state and audit metadata; keep shell tracing disabled when exporting credentials.
 
+Tool action approvals require `PAPERCLIP_TOOL_ACTION_SIGNING_SECRET` to be set independently from auth/JWT secrets. Rotate it deliberately: changing it invalidates outstanding signed tool-action approvals, so drain or reject pending approvals before rotation.
