deploy/stack.yaml passes DATABASE_URL_FILE, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID_FILE,
OPERATOR_PASSWORD_FILE and the provider tokens as Swarm secret paths, but the
runtime only ever read the plain names. That stack could not start: the database
URL and R2 credentials were absent, and operator login raised KeyError, so it
returned 500 instead of the intended 503.
local/secrets.py resolves every <NAME>_FILE into <NAME> before configuration is
read, from the API, worker and bootstrap entrypoints. It fails closed on an
unreadable or empty secret and on a name supplied both directly and as a file,
because starting with a credential nobody intended is worse than not starting.
Only one trailing newline is stripped, so a generated password keeps any
whitespace that belongs to it, and no value reaches an error message.
The stack also passed OPERATOR_USER while the Kanban authenticates by email;
it now passes OPERATOR_EMAIL, matching the runtime.
The release gate checked this by searching local/secrets.py for the literal
"DATABASE_URL_FILE", which would pass for any file containing that string. It
now loads the module and makes it resolve every secret the stack declares, and
asserts it fails closed on a missing one. Four marker strings that stopped
matching when R2 support landed are removed rather than left to rot; the two
that still describe real blockers stay, so the gate continues to refuse a
release while payment and messaging adapters are fake.

The pipeline ran py_compile plus four unit tests, then built and called the
Portainer webhook. None of that starts the application, so a missing import in
local/auth.py passed every check and reached production, where it returned 500
on every session, login and registration.
Add an integration job that builds the localhost stack and runs the suites that
already existed but were never executed automatically: smoke, workflow,
security, scanning, retention, runtime security, and the two browser tests.
publish-and-deploy now depends on it, so a failure blocks the deploy instead of
shipping.
Verified by reintroducing the original defect: py_compile and the unit tests
still passed, and smoke_test failed on /session, which would have stopped the
release.
The browser tests need a real Chrome and are skipped with a warning when the
runner has none; installing google-chrome-stable or setting CHROME_BIN makes
them gate too. Every other suite gates unconditionally.
