What
The list of environment variables Claude Code refuses to expose now also covers the INPUT_-prefixed copy of each one, which is the form GitHub Actions uses when a secret is passed in as a workflow input.
Details
The base list already included ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN , AWS_SESSION_TOKEN , ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN and SSH_SIGNING_KEY among others. The prefixed names are built at runtime from the base list, so any future addition to the denylist is covered automatically. Evidence
ACTIONS_RUNTIME_TOKEN
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
