The registry secrets are reportedly not arriving, and the job could not have told anybody
which one or why. An unset secret is not an error anywhere upstream: ${{ }} renders a
missing value as an empty string, so docker gets --username "" and replies with something
about credentials — which reads as the registry rejecting a login rather than as a value
that never left the settings page.
Checked before use now, and reported by length rather than by value. Gitea masks known
secret values in logs, but a mask is only as good as the runner's bookkeeping, and a length
answers the only question actually being asked: did anything arrive at all. The message
names the page to look at, and names the neighbouring one too, since Actions Variables and
Actions Secrets sit next to each other and only one of them is readable through the secrets
context.
This does not fix the credentials. It converts a confusing failure into a specific one, so
the next run distinguishes "the secret is empty here" from "the registry refused these" —
two problems with nothing in common that currently look identical.
Verified by running the step's script with both variables set empty, which is the reported
symptom: it names both, points at the settings page and exits 1 before docker is called.
