Responded to @bwalsh's request regarding the security concern raised by the bot reviewer about git credentials being written to plain text.
Context
The bot reviewer identified that the init container writes the GitHub PAT to
/gitcreds/.git-credentialsin plain text:The file is then mounted to the main container, exposing the token unnecessarily.
Response
Clarified that I cannot create GitHub issues directly but can implement the suggested git credential helper solution that sources credentials from environment variables instead of persisting them to disk.
Awaiting confirmation to proceed with implementing the security fix.
