When does this happen?

IF Risk of sending sensitive or proprietary code and context to cloud LLMs during automated knowledge extraction.

How others solved it

THEN Mark sensitive project directories as `restricted` using `cortex privacy set <dir> restricted`. Cortex will never send files from restricted directories to cloud LLMs. Additionally, sensitive files (.env, .pem, .key) are auto-detected and blocked from transmission. API key secrets are scanned and redacted before any cloud call. All data stays in `~/.cortex/`.
