+The CLI resolves the token for delivery using the configured environment
+variable or token file. It verifies the local checkout and hosted tag before
 creating or accepting a hosted release page. The full checked-in note is the
 hosted body. A retry accepts an identical page and matching attachments, adds
 only missing assets, and reports conflicts without replacing content.

+For local delivery, save a Gitea personal access token in a git-ignored file such
+as `.releasekit/gitea-token` and configure:
+
+```json
+{
+  "product": "Example",
+  "validation": {
+    "untracked_files": [".releasekit/gitea-token"]
+  },
+  "delivery": {
+    "base_url": "https://gitea.example",

+    "repository": "example",

+}
+```
+
+Add `.releasekit/` to the consumer's ignore rules and use owner-only file
+permissions for the saved token. Then run `releasekit deliver v1.2.3` from the
+tagged checkout. CI can continue supplying the environment token. See the
+[configuration reference](../config.md) for precedence, path resolution, and the
+optional candidate check. The validator checks the selected committed paths;
+it does not scan for secrets in other files or past commits.
 For nested modules, the note comes from that module's committed
 `docs/releases/<version>.md`, and the hosted page is keyed by its complete tag.
