What Hacker News says

Please avoid the snark. I read the readme in full, I think that's an appropriate level of effort. Your link also still doesn't answer it, though it hints: 'A migrated .env is a live mount (a named pipe), not a plain file'. So is that a file system driver, or...? Even https://github.com/jitpass/jit/blob/main/docs/getting-starte... says it's a local encrypted store - and that's repeated many times across the docs Claude-style - but it doesn't explain the mechanism whereby reading a file gets the results from that store.
