Deskhand runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. Last commit 7 Nov 2026.

This code can reach further than it looks
We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.
