 | Move a project to a different hub (cloud ↔ self-hosted) | `bdrive export [<folder>]` writes a portable `.tar.gz` of the whole project — every device's journal and every blob, so full history and authorship travel. Then `bdrive login <other-hub>` and `bdrive import <archive>` recreates it there as a new project (`--name` overrides; target must be empty); connect folders with `bdrive init --project <id>`. Sync first so the export is complete. |
 | This device's identity | `bdrive whoami` |
 | Sign this device in (once per device) | `bdrive login [url]` — bare form targets BearDrive Cloud (beardrive.ai): signing up there auto-creates a free personal workspace, no questions asked. Self-hosting teams pass their hub URL instead. Opens the sign-in page in a browser (sign-up available there); the terminal completes on its own and stores a per-device token. `--device` prints a code to approve from any browser (SSH/headless), and login falls back to that code flow automatically when there is no TTY (agent shells, CI) or no browser opens; `--status` shows server + account. Password reset: "Forgot password?" on the sign-in page (emailed via the server's SMTP config, or the link appears in the server log). **Switch hubs** with `bdrive login <new-url>`, then re-run `bdrive init` in each folder. |
-| Sign this device out | `bdrive logout` — clears the saved token + account (folders untouched); `--forget` also drops the remembered server. The device token stays valid server-side until it expires — revoke it from the hub's device list to be sure. |
+| Sign this device out | `bdrive logout` — clears the saved token + account (folders untouched); `--forget` also drops the remembered server. The token is only cleared locally: the hub still accepts it and there is no revoke yet. |
 | Link a synced file for teammates | `bdrive url <file>` — prints the file's hub viewer URL (sign-in + project membership required; always the latest content). Computed locally, no network; `--sync` pushes first so a just-created file's link resolves immediately; no arg = the project home page. **After creating a shareable artifact (.md/.html/.csv/report/plan) in the shared folder, include this link in your reply** so teammates can open it. |
 | Share a synced file publicly by URL | `bdrive share <file>` — prints a link anyone can open (HTML renders as a page, markdown rendered, PDFs inline; sandboxed; always the latest content; no account needed). `--expires 24h` for self-destructing links; `--list` / `--revoke <token-or-url>` to manage. Put generated reports in the shared folder, sync, then share. |
 | Set up a project for a Claude Code team | `/beardrive:install` — installs the CLI, signs in, runs init (whole/shared folder), offers the two-file agent orientation (synced `<shared>/AGENTS.md` map + repo-root pointer), and registers agent sync hooks via `bdrive hooks install` (pull at turn start, push after edits, session-note stamping — for every detected platform, not just Claude) |
