- by which I mean bits of information configured and used like drone secrets are but visible rather than kept secret
An alternative would be to either create global environment variables [1] or use an environment extension [2]. The environment variables are injected into the pipeline and would behave similar to secrets. This is a good candidate for an extension, since their purpose is to accommodate bespoke feature requests.
