The secrets context is not available in step-level if expressions in GitHub Actions — only in with and env blocks. This caused the workflow file to be invalid, failing every run with: Unrecognized named-value: 'secrets' Fix by exporting the secret to a job-level env var and checking that in the step condition instead.
