Addresses #350 by clarifying when to use INSECURE_PLAINTEXT_CREDENTIALS vs INSECURE_LOCALHOST_ALLOWED for local development scenarios.

Changes

  • Added Local Development section to client-libraries.mdx with insecure credential options for all supported languages
  • Added callout in protecting-a-blog.mdx explaining insecure credentials for all client libraries
  • Updated Node.js code example comment for clarity

Context

Teams using Orbstack or Docker with non-localhost hostnames (e.g., *.orb.local) were confused about which security setting to use. This makes it clear that insecure plaintext credentials work for all local development scenarios including localhost, Docker, Orbstack, and other non-TLS setups.

Fixes #350
