The job to be done
How does DevDock help with pre-release security checks?
Review local secret exposure, tracked credential files, unsafe filesystem conditions, lockfile coverage, and ecosystem dependency advisories before shipping.
The Today view surfaces recent projects and saved daily workflows. Inside a project, DevDock connects registered folders, detected technologies, Docker and Git state, database operations, local security findings, and the actions you use to get back to work.
Recommended path
Review the workspace
See its folders, health, saved commands, and recent activity from one overview.
DevDock keeps the project, registered folder, working directory, execution target, and retained output connected so the same task remains understandable later.

Local project security audits and dependency checks
Run DevDock's read-only local security audit, understand each finding, complement it with ecosystem advisory scanners, and respond without exposing secrets.
Its sections cover run the universal local audit, know what the baseline checks, understand the privacy boundary, read the audit limits correctly, respond to secret findings, fix filesystem and dependency findings, run dependency advisory scanners. Use it when you are ready to reproduce this workflow with your own project data.

Questions about this use case.
How does DevDock help with pre-release security checks?
Review local secret exposure, tracked credential files, unsafe filesystem conditions, lockfile coverage, and ecosystem dependency advisories before shipping. The recommended path starts with review the workspace and uses project security audit, project health, command history.
Does DevDock replace the terminal?
No. It provides a repeatable control surface for common project workflows and can still open a registered folder in a terminal, Visual Studio Code, or File Explorer.
Does project detection run repository code?
No. Detection reads a bounded set of manifests and marker files. It does not execute package managers, build tools, project scripts, or network requests.
