A privileged app is launched with the GUI session token today. Running one on a
full-access personal access token instead costs much less when it leaks, but
several routes those apps depend on refuse every access token, so the swap would
break them.
Admitted, each a read or a write the token's own HTTP reach already covers:
- the realtime socket handshake, which refused access tokens outright; FS
live updates and notifications stop without it
- GET /get-dev-profile and POST /profile, both puter.js surface
- GET /auth/list-permissions — a read of what was granted, not a grant
- GET /share/shared-by-me/apps and GET /share/audit, over grants
/share/shared-by-me already lists for the same credential
- POST /rao, which puter.js calls on every setAuthToken
Gated on `isAccountContext`, not the `full_access` claim alone, so a token with
an app anywhere in its chain is still refused and a socket for one never joins
the user room.
Left session-only: mint, session, 2FA, grant, team and billing, plus two the
list named. /share/blocks is a personal safety control whose only caller is the
desktop's Blocked Senders window. /app-feedback is reachable only from our own
GUI pages, and being unsubmittable programmatically on a user's behalf is the
property it was built with.
The new HTTP suite drives a real server with a minted token and fails on all six
admissions without the change; the block routes' existing metadata check already
pins their refusal.

Getting Started
💻 Local Development
git clone https://github.com/HeyPuter/puter
cd puter
npm install
npm start
→ This should launch Puter at http://puter.localhost:4100
To run this checkout with Docker, follow Building from source. Create a local docker-compose.override.yml to select the local build; keeping these settings out of docker-compose.yml avoids conflicts when pulling updates and keeps local configuration out of pull requests.
