Effective Configuration
What a machine is really running, after every source has been merged.
Show it
node9 config showPrints the full runtime configuration, including the shields that are applied and the advisory rules in force. This is the merged result, not the contents of any one file.
Why it differs from your config file
A machine that follows a cloud workspace takes its policy from that workspace. Local policy files are not merged in field by field; where the workspace has an opinion, that opinion is what runs. Reading your local file and assuming it describes the machine is the most common way to misread a verdict.
Where the policy came from
node9 statusNames the policy source, so you know whether you are looking at a local machine or one following a workspace before you start reading values.
Why one call was decided that way
node9 explain Bash 'cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa'Configuration tells you the rules. This tells you what happens to one specific call under them.
