There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thanks for this — the docs are a nice addition and the script.js refactor is clean and safe. 🙏
Before merging, I'd like a couple of accuracy fixes in SECURITY.md:
1. §1 "API Key Management" — please reword.
It says the key was "moved to environment variables," but it's still hardcoded in script.js.The contradiction is just in the wording. Could you reframe it as: this is a public client-side key by design, so no change was needed — the const is just for readability.
2. §1 also says .gitignore was updated.
This PR doesn't touch .gitignore (those rules already existed). Can you drop that line?
3. .env.example is currently unused.
The static site has no way to read AMPLITUDE_API_KEY, so copying it to .env won't change anything. Could you either remove it (plus the cp .env.example .env step) or add a note that it's illustrative only? Just don't want it to confuse contributors.
Everything else looks good — the SRI, supply-chain, and GitHub Actions sections all check out. Thanks!
