Shorten New Deploy-Site Secret Prose Below the 25-Word Cap

[ptr727]

Follow-up to #938, prompted by a CodeRabbit finding on the develop -> main promotion PR (#936): several sentences #938 added to deploy-site-task.yml's assert-step comment and docs/reusable-workflows.md ran past comment-and-doc-style's 25-word cap for new prose.

Change

• Splits the four over-length sentences into shorter ones, no content removed.
• Leaves pre-existing long sentences in the same paragraphs untouched (they predate Add SITE_AUTH_TOKEN_ID/SITE_AUTH_TOKEN Secret Handoff to Deploy-Site Verify Hook #938 and deploy-site-task.yml's verify mode has no secret-forwarding path for a token-gated environment check #929; the sentence-length rule is opt-in for the existing corpus, binding only for new prose).

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Clarified handling of optional authentication-token mappings during deployment verification.
  • Documented that partial token mappings are forwarded to verification hooks and treated as configuration errors.
  • Explained exceptions for environment-scoped deployment secrets.
  • Expanded reusable workflow guidance for verification inputs, environment-variable forwarding, and caller-managed token mappings.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change clarifies deploy-site authentication-token validation comments and documents secret mappings, hook inputs, environment forwarding, token propagation, and deployment output handling.

Changes

Deploy-site authentication contract

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Token contract clarification .github/workflows/deploy-site-task.yml, docs/reusable-workflows.md	The workflow comments clarify paired token requirements. The documentation describes caller-owned mappings and GitHub Environment secret boundaries.
Deploy-site adoption details docs/reusable-workflows.md	The documentation specifies hook inputs, environment forwarding, optional token propagation, Blog build and prune behavior, and deployment root separation.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~3 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6cf0f

The documentation still describes an unsupported way to pass environment-scoped secrets to a reusable workflow, which can leave deployment credentials or variables unavailable and cause deployment failures or misconfiguration; the workflow comment also inaccurately describes the partial-value failure path. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed before merging.

PR Summary by Qodo

Shorten deploy-site secret prose to meet 25-word sentence cap

📝 Documentation 🕐 Less than 10 minutes

AI Description

• Split newly-added overlong sentences to satisfy the 25-word prose rule.
• Keep existing long sentences unchanged (rule applies only to new prose).
• Clarify the SITE_AUTH_TOKEN_ID/SITE_AUTH_TOKEN pairing with shorter, equivalent wording.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Add a style/lint ignore for the specific sentences

• ➕ Avoids rewriting prose when wording is already precise
• ➕ Keeps paragraph flow intact for readers who prefer longer sentences
• ➖ Adds per-line/tool-specific suppression noise
• ➖ Can encourage more exceptions over time instead of consistent style

2. Relax/parameterize the sentence-length cap for docs/comments

• ➕ Reduces future churn when technical prose needs longer sentences
• ➕ Keeps enforcement focused on higher-signal rules
• ➖ Requires policy/tooling changes beyond this PR’s narrow scope
• ➖ Potentially weakens readability consistency if used broadly

Recommendation: Keep the current approach (split the new sentences). It satisfies the style constraint without changing meaning, avoids adding linter exceptions, and keeps the follow-up narrowly scoped to the CodeRabbit finding.

One updated documentation sentence in docs/reusable-workflows.md remains over the 25-word cap, so the intended prose-gate compliance is not yet complete.

Description

The modified documentation says the verify mode "gained" a handoff, framing current behavior as a
past change. State the current contract directly instead, such as saying that verify mode receives
the handoff.

Code

docs/reusable-workflows.md[217]

+- [x] The `deploy` hook's `verify` mode gained a same-shaped secret handoff as `DEPLOY_SSH_PRIVATE_KEY` above it. Blog's `checks/check-live-urls.sh` raised the case, against its own staging environment's token-gated auth. `deploy-site-task.yml` declares an optional, generic `SITE_AUTH_TOKEN_ID`/`SITE_AUTH_TOKEN` pair and forwards it into the `verify` invocation as `env:`, the named-pair shape decided in [issue #929][issue-929]. Which product gates a given environment, and how a caller maps its secrets to these two names, stays that repo's concern, not the hub's.

The checklist requires documentation to state current behavior rather than use past-tense change
framing. The changed line begins by describing what the verify mode "gained" instead of what it
currently does.
