- src/index.js dynamically requires only command names allowlisted in constants.js.
- src/commands/self-update.js runs npm only for explicit self-update.
- src/agents/linker.js changes agent skill links only through install/agents commands.
- src/api/client.js sends authenticated requests only to the configured HappySkills API.
