Hi @bxb100, thanks for the careful repro — this one is on us, not your environment.

Short version: this is a server-side configuration gap on api.db9.ai. The Set DB9_SECRETS_ENCRYPTION_KEY or CREDENTIAL_KEY advice in the error message is aimed at operators of the DB9 service, not at end users — there is nothing you need to set on your machine to unblock yourself.

We've identified the root cause and are rolling out the fix. I'll come back here once it's live in production and you can re-run your db9 functions secrets set command. We're also going to revise the error wording so end users don't see operator-facing messaging like this in the future.

Sorry for the confusion, and thanks again for the detailed report.
