**COMMANDS.md** named six CSRF-exempt read-only methods, two of which
(`bitcoin.getinfo`, `monitoring.current`) are not exempt — a client trusting the
doc would send them with the cookie alone and get rejected. The real set is
twelve (`api/rpc/mod.rs:326-340`); listed all of them and said plainly that
everything else needs the header. The rest of the doc verified clean: the 480 /
200 / 160-char caps, the four `assistant_*` config keys, both default model ids,
`is_sender_allowed`, `strip_archy_trigger` / `run_node_cmd`, the three
unauthenticated HTTP endpoints, and `auth.login.totp` all match the code.
**secrets.md** said `secret_env` "sets `<key>` in the container's environment",
which reads as a plain `-e KEY=value` and undersells the design. It isn't:
resolved pairs are registered as podman secrets named
`archy-env-<app-id>-<key>` and referenced by name, precisely so the value stays
out of `podman inspect` and out of plaintext `Environment=` lines in Quadlet
units. Also documented the interpolation-taint rule — a plain `environment`
entry that expands `${SECRET}` (BTCPay's connection strings) is itself treated
as secret-bearing rather than left in the clear, which is what makes it safe to
build connection strings from secrets.
Everything else in secrets.md verified against `container/secrets.rs`: the four
kinds and their file shapes, the bare-filename rule, the every-tick idempotent
`ensure_generated_secrets`, and the atomic 0600 temp-fsync-rename writer.

Archipelago documentation
Start here. This index groups the docs by what you're trying to do. The
authoritative behaviour is always the code in core/; where a doc and the code
disagree, the code wins and the doc is a bug.
