Network Egress Policy

Source: joingroveEgressPolicy.ts
Generated: 01/09/2026

Key Concepts

  • Zero egress default: joingrove.offline.zeroEgressMode blocks unknown external hosts when enabled (default in product.json).
  • Allowlist wins: Loopback and custom joingrove.offline.allowedHosts are always permitted.
  • Opt-in cloud: Billing (joingrove.offline.allowBillingRequests) and platform (joingrove.offline.allowPlatformRequests) can be enabled per checkout or Studio cloud use.

Setup & Installation

Reference tables are generated from canonical sources (product.json, command registrations, egress policy). After changing those sources, regenerate:

node scripts/generate-docs-reference.mjs

Next: Run npm run verify-docs to confirm tables match sources.

Code Examples

npm run generate-docs-reference

Next: Open the docs hub with joingrove.openDocsHub or browse topics with joingrove.openDocsTopic.
