Open Record Step 4: Credentials, Handled

If either of your sources needs a key, get one and wire it up properly: in an environment file, that file in .gitignore, read from the environment in code, never printed.

If you find one, rotate it now. If neither source needs a key, do this anyway with a placeholder, because the habit is what you are building.
