Security Notes
The server uses JWT-based authentication with OAuth support (Google, Overleaf), which is a standard and generally secure practice. Development and staging scripts (`hack/*.sh`) use placeholder dummy values for API keys and credentials (`sk-dummy-`, `dummy-`), indicating that actual secrets are not hardcoded in the repository, but require users to replace them. The Chrome extension explicitly requests host permissions for Overleaf domains and allows users to add custom domains, ensuring transparency. No obvious malicious patterns, code obfuscation, or direct `eval` usage were found in the provided source.
