-## Bitwarden Secrets Manager
-
-The Bitwarden Secrets Manager provider requires an official `bws` client supplied by the
-operator. Dockhand does not include, download, or redistribute `bws`. By default the provider
-executes `/usr/local/bin/bws`; the process-level `DOCKHAND_BWS_PATH` setting may override this
-with another absolute path.
-
-Configure the Machine Account access token in Dockhand's secret-provider settings and set the
-stack's `DOCKHAND_SECRET_SELECTOR` to the Bitwarden Project UUID.
-
-For Bitwarden EU or a self-hosted instance, also configure the optional server URL. Dockhand
-applies its provider URL-safety checks and uses `bws config server-base` in an isolated
-temporary profile.
-
-For the official Dockhand container, mount the operator-managed executable read-only:
-
-```yaml
-volumes:
-  - /opt/dockhand-tools/bws:/usr/local/bin/bws:ro
-```
-
-Obtaining, verifying, updating, and licensing `bws` remains the operator's responsibility.
