Improved the Release Build workflow to clearly show that PostHog and Sentry
credentials are being injected from the GitHub Secret Store, providing better
transparency and auditability.
Changes:
- Enhanced workflow step name to explicitly mention "GitHub Secrets"
- Added comprehensive logging with visual separators and clear sections
- Added before/after file content display showing placeholder replacement
- Added secret availability verification with format validation
- Added detailed error messages with step-by-step fix instructions
- Enhanced release summary to highlight successful credential injection
- Updated build configuration documentation with cross-references
Benefits:
- Developers can immediately see credentials come from GitHub Secret Store
- Security teams have clear audit trail of credential injection process
- Better troubleshooting with detailed error messages
- Secrets remain protected with proper redaction (first 8 + last 4 chars)
- Multiple validation steps ensure correct injection
The workflow now outputs 50+ lines of structured logging showing:
- Secret store location (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions)
- Target file being modified (app/config/analytics_defaults.py)
- Verification that secrets are available
- Format validation (phc_* pattern for PostHog)
- Confirmation of successful placeholder replacement
- Summary with redacted credential previews
