A store zip is public, so files that look private (`*.pem`, `*.key`, `*.p12` and other keys, `id_rsa` and the other SSH keys, certificates, `*.env`, `credentials.json`, a service account's key such as `firebase-adminsdk-….json`, `_netrc`, source maps) are left out and named; `--allow-private` packs them. Dotfiles and links that lead out of the folder are never packed. Nothing is sent anywhere.
 
 **`toolaby tools`** lists your tools and their ids. **`toolaby whoami`** says who you are signed in as. **`toolaby logout`** signs the command out and revokes its session on the server.
 
 ## Where things live
 
 - Your session: `~/.config/toolaby/credentials.json`, readable by you alone (mode 600). `toolaby logout` deletes it after revoking it.
-- The session is per side. `TOOLABY_TOKEN` stands in for the file where there is no home directory (CI). `TOOLABY_WALL` or `--wall <url>` names any other Wall.
+- The session is per side. `TOOLABY_TOKEN` stands in for the file where there is no home directory (CI), and is sent to one Wall only: Live (`toolaby.app`), or the one `TOOLABY_TOKEN_WALL` names — `TOOLABY_TOKEN_WALL=https://test.toolaby.app` for a Test session. If that Wall refuses it, the session `toolaby login` stored for that Wall is used instead. `TOOLABY_WALL` or `--wall <url>` names any other Wall.
 
 `wire` and `create` write only inside the folder they work on, and never through a symbolic link. A manifest, a framework's config or a Wall that names a place outside it (`../`, an absolute path, a link) is refused before anything is written. `create` writes only the files it knows a new extension has.
