 **`SITE_BASE_URL` being read twice is the trap worth knowing.** A wrong value bakes the wrong address into every canonical tag and then runs the full URL contract against that same wrong address, so the deploy verifies itself and passes. Its generic name is the hub's own `deploy-site-task.yml` interface, since that task is not Hugo-specific. Blog's own scripts and `OPERATIONS.md` keep reading `HUGO_BASEURL`, which the deploy hook bridges from `SITE_BASE_URL` in one place.

 `DEPLOY_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY` holds the same key in both environments, per the decision above. The environment split still carries the base URL, the SSH endpoint, and the staging-only token pair, so it is not decorative.
