📝 Walkthrough

The .env.example file now leaves GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY empty. The env export now decodes parsed environment values with Value.Decode.

Changes: Environment values

Layer / File(s) Summary
Environment example and decoding
.env.example, packages/common/src/env.ts
The private key example value is empty. The env export passes parsed values through Value.Decode.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~5 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to dfc89

Decoding the private key from Base64 fixes the production behavior. The shared test fixture still uses a non-Base64 placeholder, so test setup that evaluates env can fail at import time. Update the fixture value before merging.

42-42: 🩺 Stability & Availability

The repository requires Node.js 26.8.x in package.json, and the Docker image also uses Node.js 26.8. Therefore, no supported runtime is older than Node.js 16.0, so relying on global atob does not introduce the claimed import failure.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Use an explicit quoted empty value.

GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY= # base64-encoded triggers SpaceCharacter and ValueWithoutQuotes warnings. Change it to GITHUB_APP_PRIVATE_KEY="" # base64-encoded.
