Research direction

Open workshop/side-quest-16-02-secrets-and-permissions.md and check the “GitHub Secrets” link on line 14. Replace its target with the GitHub Actions secrets documentation URL given in the issue, then verify the link points there; the issue also permits removing the link. Done when the misleading Safe Outputs target is no longer used for “GitHub Secrets.”

Description

documentation

Workshop file reviewed

workshop/side-quest-16-02-secrets-and-permissions.md

Problem

Line 14 links the text "GitHub Secrets" to the gh-aw Safe Outputs reference, which doesn't cover repository secrets:

**[GitHub Secrets](https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/safe-outputs/)**

Correct target

Secrets are a GitHub Actions feature, so link to GitHub's own docs: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-for-github-actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions (the gh-aw safe-outputs page is about validated write operations).

Suggested fix

Replace the URL on line 14 with the GitHub Docs secrets URL above, or remove the link.

Context: reviewed with gh-aw v0.92.0 (no new release since the last check). The other two files in this batch, side-quest-16-01 and side-quest-16-03, had no issues.
