Description

Contributor guide

Research direction

Investigate the current default binding address in minikube's server startup. The goal is to change it to bind only to localhost for security. Check the relevant configuration files and server initialization code. Ensure that tests and any documentation are updated. Consider backward compatibility with users who rely on external access.
