Secrets Handling Pattern + +**File**: `/home/n0mad1k/tools/c2itall/utils/deployment_engine.py` (Lines 171-193) + +Verified best-practice pattern for passing secrets to Ansible: +1.

All sensitive PII, operator paths (e.g., `/home/n0mad1k/Tools/...`), homelab IPs, and audit records have been removed. +- Template variables (e.g., `{{ aws_secret_key }}`, `{{ smtp_auth_pass }}`) are correctly used for runtime injection; no hardcoded values remain. +- All credential patterns are handled via environment variables or Ansible playbook injection, not committed files. +- The .env.example file is a safe template with empty placeholders. +
