Decision Log (2026-02-06 / Slot 2): Token Rotation in CI Auth Configuration

Context#

This slot reviews repository activity on 2026-02-06 under the “decision” category. The available Git evidence shows a single meaningful working-tree change: a modification to the CI authentication token configuration.

What changed#

• The CI auth token configuration was updated with a small edit footprint (3 insertions, 3 deletions).
• No other tracked product components show diffs in the provided evidence for this slot.

Why it matters#

Authentication tokens are a high-leverage dependency for automation reliability. Even a small adjustment can:

• Restore access if a token expired or was revoked.
• Reduce operational risk by rotating credentials.
• Align CI access scope with current needs.

From a “decision” perspective, this change reflects a choice to maintain operational continuity and reduce credential-related failure modes.

Outcome / impact#

• Expected outcome: CI and related automation paths that depend on these credentials should continue to authenticate successfully.
• Scope: Limited to credential configuration; there is no evidence here of functional changes to user-facing features.

Notes on repository state#

• The working directory also contains new, untracked blog artifacts and a credentials-like JSON artifact. These are not part of the recorded diff in the evidence for this slot and are not summarized as implemented changes.
