# Description of Changes

## Harden GitHub Actions secret handling

Moves secrets behind deployment environments, removes the GitHub App
token from
workflows that only comment and label, and moves PR preview images to
GHCR so the
preview path needs no registry credential.

Builds on #6005 by @dagecko — that commit is preserved with original
authorship,
rebased onto current main.

### Extract secrets from `run:` blocks (@dagecko, #6005 rebased)

- Secrets referenced in shell bodies moved to step-level `env:` so
values never
  reach a rendered command line
- Two `workflow_dispatch` inputs moved out of shell interpolation
  (`multiOSReleases`, `push-docker-base`)
- Dropped the hunks main has since solved — `setup-uv`, `reviewdog`,
`build-push-action` and `github-script` are all pinned newer on main now
- Fixed a bug in the original: `PR-Demo-cleanup.yml` uses a **quoted**
`<< 'ENDSSH'`
heredoc, so rewriting `${{ secrets.DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME }}` to
`${DOCKER_HUB_USERNAME}`
would have sent the literal string to the VPS and expanded to empty,
silently
  orphaning preview images behind `|| true`

### Gate secret-bearing jobs behind environments

- `environment:` added to 15 jobs across 10 workflows, mapping to
`release-signing`,
  `docker-publish`, `package-publish`, `pr-preview` and `bot-identity`
- Environment branch/tag policies are enforced by GitHub before the job
starts, so
  editing the workflow file cannot bypass them
- Four jobs deliberately **not** gated — `tauri-build`,
`frontend-backend-licenses-update`,
`swagger` and `push-docker-base` would fail their own triggers under the
current
  policies and need restructuring first
- Removed the `testMain` trigger from `push-docker` — the branch doesn't
exist and
  isn't in the environment's policy

### Publish PR previews to GHCR instead of Docker Hub

- Preview images now go to `ghcr.io/stirling-tools/stirling-pdf-test`,
authenticated
  with `GITHUB_TOKEN` rather than `DOCKER_HUB_API`
- Docker Hub personal access tokens cannot be scoped to a single
repository, so the
preview path was holding the same credential that publishes `s-pdf` and
`stirling-pdf`
- `DOCKER_HUB_API` no longer appears in any PR-reachable workflow
- Login now precedes every `docker manifest inspect` —
`deploy-on-v2-commit` had them
  reversed, which only worked because the Docker Hub repo was public

### Use `GITHUB_TOKEN` for comment and label workflows

- Seven workflows no longer mint a GitHub App token; only
`sync_files_v2`,
`sync-portal-docs` and `frontend-backend-licenses-update` still do, so
unattended
  auto-merge is unaffected
- `permissions:` blocks derived per job from the API calls each actually
makes —
these were previously inert, since an App installation token ignores
them, and one
  job had no block at all
- Comment-threading matchers updated to `github-actions[bot]` so
workflows still edit
  their own previous comment instead of posting duplicates
- Removed the App token from the `refs/pull/N/merge` checkout in
`PR-Demo-Comment-with-react` and set `persist-credentials: false` — it
was written
  into `.git/config` of an untrusted tree that the same job then builds
- Fixed a script injection in `check_toml.yml`: a fork-controlled branch
name was
interpolated into `actions/github-script` JS source, with validation
running after
the injected code had already executed. Values now come from
`process.env` and are
  validated before use.
