- Avoid encoding secrets in filenames or embedded manifests. Filenames travel in logs and metadata; they’re often visible where the content should not be.
- Rotate toolchain and key identifiers (jf15-like tokens) when cryptographic keys or signing credentials change; surface the mapping in secure, access-controlled documentation.
- Apply access controls to artifact stores and consider immutability for released artifacts to ensure auditability.
