https://github.com/webgrip/n8n-application/actions/runs/17798306042/job/50591153315#step:11:163 I'm not seeing anything actionable on my end. Another thing to maybe think about: My org has a secret called OPENAI_API_KEY_CI. If somehow the name of the secret that's used to send to OAI was configurable, that would solve a lot of useless work / secret duplication. Or maybe let a manually defined env variable overwrite the secret env var used in the step if it's set?

It's still strange, because I'm 100% sure that the key I'm using is valid. So I'm just unsure on general on what's going on in my case.
