Fix Pipeline Failure Due to Missing Firebase Secrets

Root Cause

Pull request #11 is from a forked repository (nchalla3/FSWebsite). GitHub Actions doesn't provide access to repository secrets for pull requests from forks for security reasons. This causes the Firebase deployment to fail because FIREBASE_TOKEN and FIREBASE_PROJECT_ID are empty.

Solution Implemented

  • Investigate the issue and identify root cause
  • Modify the workflow to handle pull requests from forks gracefully
  • Update workflow to only run Firebase deployment when secrets are available
  • Add informative notice when deployment is skipped
  • Update documentation to explain the fork limitation
  • Clean up workflow file formatting
  • Fix secret checks to properly handle null values
  • Run security scan

Changes Made

  1. Workflow Update: Added conditional check to skip Firebase deployment when secrets are not available (null/undefined from forks)
  2. User Feedback: Added a deployment skipped notice with helpful information
  3. Documentation: Updated FIREBASE_DEPLOY_README.md to explain the fork limitation
  4. Code Quality: Fixed secret null checks based on code review feedback

Testing Plan

  • Verify workflow runs successfully on PR Restored local #11 (should skip deployment gracefully)
  • Verify workflow still deploys successfully on main repository branches
Original prompt

For pull request #11, the pipeline job is failing and it's saying it's because of the firebase token and project ID. These all seem to be the same as tokens that worked in the past, so see if there's any other underlying issue and fix it
