I'm really not worried about `uv` and `cpython` -- their processes are robust, their response times fast, and (now) their funding significant

I'm worried about, say, `mdformat` (a widely used formatter mostly maintained by one person in their spare time), not to mention some super-specific dependency that hasn't been updated in years and is 3 levels deep in your dep tree. I really don't want to pin & manually approve every single update for an app that's under active development, but it's beginning to look like that's mandatory for any serious app.

In the meantime, I've gotta go get my API keys out of my unencrypted `.env` files! Getting burned on a large, consumer-facing webapp would be embarrasing but logical, but losing hundreds to thousands of dollars because of some indirect dependency of some silly one-off demo repo that just happens to be on the same host & system as my `.env`s... oof.

Anyone know if OAI or Anthropic will refund you if you get your keys stolen like this? Or is it user error?
