Hi there! Thanks for the great work on Vykar
I was looking through the configuration design and noticed a small difference in how secrets are handled: there's
passcommandfor fetching the encryption passphrase securely, but theaccess_tokenfor repo credentials has to be plain text in the config file.I'm curious why these two are treated differently. I know
${VAR}expansion can work around this in practice, so this isn't a bug report or feature request — just genuine curiosity about the design. Is there a specific reasonaccess_tokenis handled this way?All reactions
