This PR replaces some automatic inheritance of all secrets in github workflow by explicitly
passing the one secret that's required.
Beside security consideration,
secrets: inherit
,does not work when the workflow is called from another organization.
This seriously limits the reusability of the workflow.
Github doc: (link)
For instance, in our project: foxglove-k8s-operator, the workflow was evaluating the
CHARMCRAFT_TOKEN
to an empty string due to this limitation ofsecrets: inherit
in the charm-release.yaml workflow.This patch has been tested here: https://github.com/ubuntu-robotics/foxglove-k8s-operator/actions/runs/15927819021/job/44929252521
Mind that the patch doesn't break any existing workflow,
but it may require in the future to maintain the list of secrets that are supposed to be passed.
