What Gets Created

~/.2501/default/
├── 2501.yaml              # Main configuration (documented inline)
├── env.engine             # Engine environment variables
├── env.command-center     # Command Center environment variables
├── logs/

├── generated/             # Generated deployment files
└── data/                  # (only with --postgres)
    └── postgres/

​
Auto-Generated Secrets

The init command automatically generates all required secrets:
  • CREDENTIAL_DECRYPTION_KEY / CREDENTIAL_ENCRYPTION_KEY
  • ENGINE_API_KEY
  • AUTH_SECRET
  • LOG_ENCRYPTION_KEY
These secrets are generated once and must be preserved. Never regenerate them after initial deployment as this will break existing credentials.
