Reasonix adds password-file input to avoid process-list exposure

Reasonix adds password-file input to avoid process-list exposure

The option covers serving and password hashing, addressing one specific way a secret can become visible.

Move the secret out of argv

The esengine project’s [Reasonix Studio 2.57.0 release](https://github.com/esengine/DeepSeek‑Reasonix/releases/tag/studio‑v2.57.0) lets `reasonix serve` read a password from an owner‑only file through `--password‑file`. The same option works with `--hash‑password`. The release identifies the exposure being addressed: a password in the process’s argument list can be visible through `ps`.

Check the scope

The change concerns password input, not a promise of encrypted storage or complete server protection. The file still holds a secret. Anyone assessing the option should check both serving and password‑hashing invocations. The AI workbench release was published November 2 at 01:05 UTC, which was November 1 evening in Toronto.
