AI cartoon by Zimbo: A worried round-headed robot guard in a guard cap clutches a clipboard beside a wide-open bank vault labeled ENV VARS, its shelves stacked with key-boxes, while a masked thief robot wheels a dolly loaded with crates labeled API KEYS and DB PASSWORDS out the door. An unimpressed tabby cat watches.
