Research direction

Start by reading the GitHub Action's input definitions, authentication handling, and documentation to find how authToken is currently accepted. Done means workflows can provide authTokenFile as an alternative and the action uses the token from that file; update or add tests if the repository has coverage for inputs.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm aiming towards using Home-Manager to manage my CI environment, with sops-nix's home-manager in tow.

As a result, I can consolidate all of my CI secrets into sops-encrypted data stored in the repo, and can use a single GitHub secret to unlock whatever a particular job needs and is assigned in its HM configuration.

However, from skimming the code and the docs, it doesn't seem that this action has a way to load the auth token from a file. Would y'all be willing to add this?

Thanks!
