What the documented workflow protects
Official app stays intact
The documented workflow does not modify Codex.app, app.asar, WindowsApps, or code signatures and does not require disabling platform security.
CDP binds to loopback
The runtime binds CDP to 127.0.0.1, preventing LAN exposure. CDP itself still has no same-user authentication.
Unrelated configuration is out of scope
Dream Skin does not need API keys or Base URLs. The site never asks you to paste config.toml, authentication data, or private logs.
Images remain local
Customization and adaptive image analysis happen locally. This site has no image upload workflow and must not receive filenames, hashes, pixels, or custom font values through analytics.
Local CDP is powerful and unauthenticated
Loopback limits network exposure, but another process running as the same user may still reach an active debug endpoint. Run only trusted local software while Dream Skin is active, avoid leaving it running unnecessarily, and restore when finished.
Restore before improvising
Both platform workflows provide restoration scripts. If install, launch, image import, or verification fails, retain the error and restore. Never delete config.toml, patch the app bundle, take ownership of WindowsApps, or bypass signature checks.
Third-party and asset boundaries
- This site links to original sources and does not host Dream Skin installers.
- Concept images and screenshots containing UI are never presented as importable wallpapers.
- Assets without independently cleared redistribution rights remain link-only.
- Installable means a usable source path exists; it does not grant commercial rights or prove platform verification.
Configuration and diagnostics
- Ambiguous or changing TOML should fail closed rather than receive a best-effort rewrite.
- Diagnostic reports must remove usernames, keys, Base URLs, private paths, and personal images.
- Optional verification screenshots require review before sharing.
- After a Codex update, restore first and wait for documented compatibility rather than applying an app patch.
Source and independence
Installation commands come from the official Dream Skin repository. This site does not host or redistribute its installers.
