The Tab (scvd-tab) runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 84 installs a week from npm. Last commit 31 Oct 2026.
Every tool a builder signs up for, on one tab: trials, burn, price drift. Local JSONL, zero deps.
What the code does

Found in continuous integration, deployment or infrastructure files, or in a neighbouring package of the same monorepo. None of this is installed when you add the server: it describes how the project is built and released. We list it because a leaked key in a build pipeline is still a real problem, but it is not something this server does on your machine.

Nothing serious here today
Today is the operative word: we check The Tab (scvd-tab) every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
