Why does Line CLI always ask before touching my .env file?
Files that usually hold secrets always ask, even in auto mode: .env files, SSH keys and config, cloud credentials and private keys. This protects you from an agent reading or changing secrets by accident.

@mentions skip secret files.- If Line does read output that contains keys or tokens, it replaces them with
[REDACTED:kind]before they reach the model.
If Line truly needs a value, consider giving it a safe example file (like .env.example) instead of the real secrets.
