# 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.
