Security Checklist

1. Secrets Management

const leakedToken = "[redacted API key]"  // Hardcoded secret
const dbCredential = "[redacted password]" // In source code

✅ ALWAYS Do This

const apiKey = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY
const dbUrl = process.env.DATABASE_URL

// Verify secrets exist
if (!apiKey) {
  throw new Error('OPENAI_API_KEY not configured')
}
