Summary
A relay's custom headers, which is how a relay
X-Api-keyis supplied, can now come from a secret file or an environment variable instead of the config file:The value is read when the relay client is built, at startup and on every config reload, so a rotated secret is picked up by a reload.
Header values are marked sensitive so they never appear in debug output, and a literal never appears in the config's
Debug. A header loaded from a secret logs its source and a 4-byte fingerprint of the value, never the value, so a rotation is visible across reloads.commit-boost initmounts everyfilepath read-only into the PBS container at the same path and passes everyenvvariable through from the compose environment, for default and mux relays alike. A relative or missing file failsinitrather than producing a compose file docker fills with a root-owned directory.
