Subject: [PATCH] fix: replace hardcoded credentials with env vars in
 documentation

Addresses Snyk W007 (HIGH). Replaces test@example.com/password123 with
$TEST_EMAIL/$TEST_PASSWORD env vars. Adds credential safety and cookie
safety notes.

 **Timeout:** Each task gets up to 5 minutes. Multi-page workflows (navigating a directory, filling forms across pages) work within this window. If a task times out, the side panel shows an error and you can retry or break it into smaller steps.
 
 **Session isolation:** Each sidebar session runs in its own git worktree. The sidebar agent won't interfere with your main Claude Code session.
