Commands that emit sensitive data (secrets, tokens) to stdout/stderr have no way to prevent that output from appearing in the GitHub Actions log, while still making it available to downstream steps via output files.

Whentrue, stdout/stderr are written only to the output files and not forwarded toprocess.stdout/process.stderr.src/main.ts: Readshide_outputsinput and passes it as{ hideOutputs }toexecuteCommand().

stdout_file/stderr_file.🔒 GitHub Advanced Security automatically protects Copilot coding agent pull requests. You can protect all pull requests by enabling Advanced Security for your repositories. Learn more about Advanced Security.
