Summary
Renames the documented live-view parameter from
readOnly=truetocontrols=disabled(the API keepsreadOnly/readonly/roas compatibility aliases) and adds an explicit warning that hiding controls is a presentation setting, not a security boundary — anyone holding a live view URL can interact with the browser by removing the parameter.Companion to kernel/kernel#3872, which adds
controls=disabledsupport to the live-view slug redirect. Merge after that PR deploys.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
Note
Low Risk
Documentation-only updates to live view URL parameters; no runtime or API behavior changes in this repo.
Overview
Docs now recommend
controls=disabledon live view URLs instead ofreadOnly=true, withreadOnly=truecalled out only as a legacy alias on the Live View query-parameter reference.The live view page adds a Warning that hiding controls is a presentation choice, not access control—holders of the URL can still interact by dropping the query param. The Observe intro is updated to match (
?controls=disabledand the same trust caveat).Iframe postMessage APIs (
KERNEL_SET_READ_ONLY, etc.) are unchanged; only URL query documentation and cross-links shift.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 9f8aa77. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.
