### Decision Log

**Date:** 2026-03-08

**Action Taken:** 
- Deleted `database.dump` from the specified directory. 
- Rotated `apiToken` in `config.json` to enhance security.

**Reasoning:** 
1. **Security Risk Assessment:** The removal of the `database.dump` file was necessary to eliminate potential unauthorized access to sensitive data. Keeping it poses an unnecessary risk in various operational scenarios. 
2. **Token Rotation:** It is a standard security practice to rotate API tokens occasionally to reduce exposure risks. The old token was replaced with a new test token to mitigate possible breaches while maintaining functionality.

**Next Steps:** 
- Monitor for any anomalies in API access following the token rotation. 
- Ensure that relevant stakeholders are informed about the changes made.
