Examples
Rotate an exposed development credential safely
Disable the exposed development key in the provider console, create a scoped
replacement, and update only the development secret reference. Verify the new
key with a harmless agent-list request while ensuring command output does not
print its value. Review access logs and affected preview configurations, then
document the incident with the credential identifier and rotation time rather
than copying key material into the ticket or source repository.
