Newline corruption in multi-line secrets (SSH Keys) added via Extension #566
Description
Multi-line RSA/PEM secrets added via the VS Code extension fail authentication in GitHub Actions. Re-adding the identically pasted content via the GitHub web UI resolves the issue. This suggests the extension may be incorrectly handling or encoding newline characters.
Steps to Reproduce
Copy a valid multi-line PEM SSH key.
In VS Code, navigate to GitHub Actions > Secrets > Add Secret.
Paste the key and save.
Trigger a workflow using the secret (e.g., appleboy/ssh-action).
Expected Behavior
The secret should maintain its original formatting and be valid for SSH authentication.
Actual Behavior
Workflow fails with: ssh: handshake failed: ssh: unable to authenticate, attempted methods [none], no supported methods remain
Workaround
Deleting the secret and re-adding it through the GitHub.com web interface works immediately.
