If it is present, remove it, regenerate the lockfile with the project's package manager, and replace whatever it was used for.\n3. List any CI runners, developer machines or containers that installed it, so their secrets can be rotated.\n4.

Incoming requests carry a base64-JSON `x-job-meta` header containing a `cmd` string plus a gzipped code tarball; the runner decodes the header, extracts the tarball, and invokes `child_process.spawn` on `meta.cmd` in a shell on the host running the runner. The runner boots unpaired by default and accepts pairing via `POST /api/master`; token authentication (GRID_TOKEN) is optional per README, so a peer able to reach the port can pair and drive arbitrary shell command execution on the host.
