Model key

The key is resolved once, in this order: llm.api_key in the file, then PIKOPOD_LLM_KEY, then the standard variable of the provider named in llm.provider. A key stored in the file requires the file to be mode 0600. A key in the environment does not. The key is optional and only three features use it: scenario create, fix, and a documentation-URL import that could not find a spec any other way. See Configuration.

Webhook signing

The key is never written to disk.

CI detection

Platform, repository, pull request number and head SHA default from the CI environment, so pr comment needs no flags inside a pipeline. Pass --platform, --repo, --number, --sha and --api to override any of them outside CI.
