Decline insecure request to commit secrets to repository

[Copilot]

Request asked to commit Stripe API keys and other sensitive credentials directly into source code and share them across repositories — a critical security violation.

Decision

No changes were made. The request was declined because:

• Secret exposure: Committing Stripe keys or any API credentials to a repo (even private) risks credential theft, financial fraud, and account compromise
• Policy violation: Hardcoding secrets into source code is explicitly prohibited under standard security practices

Recommended path forward

• Store secrets in GitHub Actions Secrets (Settings > Secrets and variables > Actions)
• Inject credentials at runtime via environment variables
• Use a dedicated secrets manager (AWS Secrets Manager, HashiCorp Vault, etc.)
• If any keys were previously exposed, immediately revoke and rotate them via the respective provider dashboards (e.g., Stripe API keys)

Original prompt
