Covers what privacytracker PRs #375 to #379 changed for operators and integrators: - `.localhost` names are ordinary hostnames, not loopback. The sample stacks pass PRIVACYTRACKER_HOST through to the allowlist, and listing it makes the instance network-exposed. - The admin session cookie is a per-process HMAC of the token, not the token; every pt_admin_token cookie is tried, and a restart or token rotation signs browsers out. The header takes the raw token only. - Policy fetches keep at most 300,000 characters, a summary makes at most 120 chunk calls, a run stops when its caller goes away, and each app keeps its newest 20 policy versions within 8 MiB. - Save Page Now is asked only when no archived copy from the last 45 days is known; the data-flow list now names the Internet Archive. - The desktop launch credential and its one-time bootstrap link, on the Rust backend and the Node sidecar alike, with .desktop-token on disk. - The iPhone import helper's CSV quotes every field and neutralises formula-leading cells.

What changed in the docs
.localhostis no longer loopback. The passage that said the sample stacks worked "only because*.localhostis treated as loopback" now says the stacks passPRIVACYTRACKER_HOSTinto the allowlist, and that listing it makes the instance network-exposed (which the sample.env.examplefiles already require a token for). The iPhone import helper section notes the CSV quoting and formula neutralisation..localhostname must be listed; the custom-provider accordion gains the 300,000-character fetch cap, the 120-chunk budget and the cancel-on-disconnect behaviour.pt_admin_tokencookie is tried, and the header/cookie asymmetry.privacy_policy_versions), adds retention, and adds the chunk bounds.chunk-budgetrow in the AI debug-log table and a note that the bounds apply to every provider..desktop-tokenin the filesystem layout, and the desktop session cookie in the/api/resetnote.llms-full.txtregenerated withnpm run llms.Checks
