🔐 Security Update: API Keys Setup

✅ What's Changed

I've updated your GitHub Actions workflows to follow security best practices:

• ✅ Removed API keys from GitHub Actions - No more OPENAI_API_KEY or ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in GitHub secrets
• ✅ Kept only Hugging Face variables - HF_TOKEN, HF_USERNAME, HF_SPACE_NAME remain in GitHub
• ✅ Updated all documentation - Setup scripts and guides now reflect this change

🔧 Your Current GitHub Secrets (Keep These)

Secret Name	Purpose
HF_TOKEN	Hugging Face write token for deployment
HF_USERNAME	Your Hugging Face username
HF_SPACE_NAME	Your space name

🎯 Next Steps

1. Remove API Keys from GitHub (if you added them)

If you previously added these to GitHub, you can remove them:

• Go to your repo → Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
• Delete: OPENAI_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (if they exist)

2. Add API Keys to Hugging Face Space

Follow the guide in HF_SPACE_SETUP.md:

1. Go to your deployed space settings
2. Add OPENAI_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY as space secrets
3. Restart your space

🔒 Why This Is Better

• 🛡️ Better Security: API keys are only stored where they're used
• 🎯 Separation of Concerns: GitHub handles deployment, HF handles runtime
• 🔄 Easier Management: Change API keys without touching GitHub
• 📊 Better Monitoring: HF Space logs show API usage, not deployment logs

🚀 Deploy and Test

1. Push your changes to trigger deployment
2. Check deployment logs - should work without API keys
3. Set HF Space secrets - follow HF_SPACE_SETUP.md
4. Test your app - should work with API calls

Your workflows will now be more secure and easier to manage! 🎉
