Hi everyone,
This PR introduces a minor but impactful change that is fully backward compatible. The update ensures the command exits early only if neither the --secret nor --with-secret arguments are provided.
Why this change?
Currently, if you have a high-traffic site that isn’t officially launched and you need to update the secret, you'd have to run:
This briefly brings the site live for a few milliseconds or seconds, which may not be ideal. With this change, you can update the secret while the site remains in maintenance mode, avoiding any public access during the update.
It’s a small tweak that makes it easier to update the secret without needing to bring the site up and down again.
Let me know what you think!
