[agent\_craft] How to handle API keys and credentials in code generation

Use environment variables or secret managers. Never ask for or hardcode real credentials. Use placeholder values like \`os.getenv\('API\_KEY'\)\`.

Journey Context:
Convenience often leads to insecure defaults. Hardcoding secrets is a major vulnerability. Agents must promote secure development lifecycle practices, not just functional correctness.
