Features
Security posture
Local mode holds your kubeconfigs. Cluster mode serves a team from a service account. Each model keeps its own boundary.
Loopback-only local mode
Local mode refuses any other interface; cluster mode binds the address you configure.
Local mode only
Per-run token in local mode
A token minted for that local run, required on every request and socket.
Local mode; cluster mode uses a signed-in session
Kubeconfigs referenced, never copied
Read in place, never merged into a file the tool manages.
RBAC-aware UI
Actions the cluster would refuse are not offered.
Attested release artifacts
Archives, desktop apps, image, chart and SBOMs carry build provenance; installers verify checksums.
SSO for a shared deployment
OIDC or an authenticated proxy in front of preview cluster mode.
Preview cluster mode
Audit trail
Every change with who asked and whether the cluster allowed it, plus sign-ins in cluster mode. Admins export it as CSV or JSON.
Terminal transcripts
Exec and node shell sessions recorded beside their audit entry, only when a deployment turns it on.
Off until a deployment or a flag turns it on
