Connectors as the boundary

Connectors are how the control plane reaches the data plane. They read results and dispatch actions against the CI, scanners, registries, clouds, and trackers you already run. Key points:

• You bring your own accounts. The platform governs the calls rather than replacing your stack, so your contracts and your tools stay yours.
• A connector is a seam with real security weight: it carries credentials and crosses a trust boundary. Where connectors run, and how their secrets are held, is an architecture decision, not an afterthought.
• For a connected data plane that sits behind a network boundary, an outbound-only worker can act as a bridge, with secrets held on the edge side.
