📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughGitHub App secret handling has been standardized across the deployment pipeline. The APP_NAME_GITHUB value is now hardcoded to "watchflow", while CLIENT_ID_GITHUB and APP_CLIENT_SECRET are renamed to APP_CLIENT_ID_GITHUB and APP_CLIENT_SECRET_GITHUB respectively. Variable names and error messages are updated consistently across all configuration files. Changes

Helm --set vs --set-string security best practices for secrets
💡 Result:
What’s the difference?
--set: Helm parses types (e.g.,true→bool,123→int).--set-string: Same as--set, but forces the value to be a string, preventing unwanted type coercion (useful for things that look like numbers/bools, IDs with leading zeros, etc.). Helm documents this directly: “to force string values, use--set-string”. [1]
Security reality for secrets (best practice)
For secrets, --set vs --set-string is mostly a correctness choice, not a meaningful security improvement:
- Both put the secret value into Helm’s computed values and (unless you take special measures) it becomes part of Helm’s release state.
- Helm’s own docs warn that release information includes chart contents and values files and “might contain sensitive data (like passwords, private keys…)” and must be protected via RBAC/encryption-at-rest considerations. [2]
- Practically, anyone with sufficient access can often retrieve sensitive Helm values (e.g., via
helm get values/ access to the release Secret), so passing secrets as values at all increases the blast radius. [3]
Recommended approaches (instead of --set/--set-string for secrets)
- Prefer referencing an existing Kubernetes Secret (charts often support patterns like
existingSecret,secretName,existingSecretKey, etc.), so the secret value isn’t carried around in Helm values/history. - If you must provide secret material as “values”, use encrypted secret values files (GitOps-friendly), e.g. SOPS +
helm-secretsso the repository stores only ciphertext and decryption happens at deploy time. [4] - For products/charts that support it, store sensitive parameters in Kubernetes Secrets rather than inline values (vendor guidance commonly recommends this). [5]
- If secrets ever land in Helm release state, lock down access to Secrets in that namespace and ensure Kubernetes encryption at rest is enabled (because Helm’s release state can contain sensitive values). [2][3]
If you still use CLI flags
- Use
--set-stringfor any secret that could be mis-parsed (e.g.,007,true,1234) to avoid breaking auth due to type coercion. [1] - Prefer
-f values.yamlover flags for anything sensitive/long-lived, and keep secret files encrypted (SOPS) or out of source control.

Change all secret values to use --set-string to prevent type coercion.
Lines 97–104 pass multiple secrets using --set, which allows Helm to interpret values as booleans, numbers, or other types. If a secret value resembles a boolean (true, false) or number, Helm may reinterpret it, breaking authentication at deploy time. Use --set-string with quoted expansions instead.
