DevOps DX Helper

Lightweight playbook for CI/Railway env hygiene. Examples use this repo's Beads prefix (bd-); swap for your repo.

Common Tasks

• Set GitHub Actions variables (non-secret paths, stub fixtures):

  • gh variable set CLERK_TEST_JWKS_PATH --body "frontend/e2e-smoke/fixtures/clerk-test-jwks.json"
  • gh variable set CLERK_TEST_PRIVATE_KEY_PATH --body "frontend/e2e-smoke/fixtures/clerk-test-private.pem"

• Set GitHub Actions secrets (API keys, tokens):

  • gh secret set ZAI_API_KEY <<<"…"
  • gh secret set OPENAI_API_KEY <<<"…"

• Sync Railway → GitHub secrets (if already stored in Railway):

  • scripts/sync_env_to_github.sh <environment> [service]
    • Copies Railway env vars to GitHub repo secrets (keys sanitized for GH).

When CI Fails for Missing Env

1. Identify missing var from logs (e.g., CLERK_TEST_JWKS_PATH missing).
2. Decide scope:
   • CI-only → set via gh variable/secret set.
   • Runtime (Railway) → set in Railway dashboard or railway variables set.
3. Re-run the affected workflow: gh workflow run CI --ref master.

Notes

• Keep stub/test fixtures in GH Actions vars, not Railway.
• Use Railway for production secrets; keep CI-only secrets separate.
• For multi-repo, reuse this skill and adjust variable names/prefixes per repo.
