First-time and post-rebuild setup required multiple interactive manual steps. This adds secrets-based auto-restore so configs are populated automatically on every container start.
New scripts
restore-from-secrets.sh— reads 6 base64-encoded Codespace secrets, decodes each to its target path with correct permissions. Called automatically viapostStartCommand; silent when no secrets are set.export-config.sh— encodes existing config files to base64 and prints them with secret-name labels. Run once after initialinit-local-oci.shsetup to capture values for storage as secrets.Secret → file mapping

After completing existing
init-local-oci.shsetup, runexport-config.shto get the base64 values, store them as Codespace secrets (GitHub → Settings → Secrets and variables → Codespaces), then all future starts/rebuilds require zero manual intervention.Original prompt
