Quote limits and prices from pricing.md and the terms, and note that llms.txt gives different free-tier limits.\n\n### QwenPaw\n\n1. Set `QWENPAW_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=true` before `qwenpaw init --defaults` or `qwenpaw app`. Both send usage data without asking\n2. Set `approval_level` to `STRICT` or `SMART` in `agent.json`. The default `AUTO` runs every tool call no guard rule flags\n3. Set `dm_policy` and `group_policy` to `allowlist` with `allow_from` on each channel. Both default to `open`\n4. Set `QWENPAW_AUTH_ENABLED=true` before binding beyond 127.0.0.1. Requests from localhost skip login even then\n5.
