apikey --pepper is accepted on the command line (ApiKeyAdminCommandLineParser), so it lands in shell history and the process list.

Source: archreview/2026-10-21/remediation/00-tracking.md row R21-O17 (cycle-1 SEC-16)

Next step (from the tracker): Prefer an env var or stdin prompt; keep the flag only with a warning.

Current-state evidence: the row is still Open/Deferred in the latest (2026-10-21) tracker, and a code check on local main @ 8c0a51d (2026-11-06) found it still present unless noted below.
