This adds support for a private YAML overlay file that is merged into the main input before Pydantic validation:
rendercv render cv.yaml --secrets secrets.yaml
The overlay is intentionally general-purpose, so users can keep public-safe mock values in their committed CV YAML and replace any subset of fields locally, such as cv.email, cv.phone, or cv.location, without breaking schema validation or watch mode.
Implementation
Adds secrets_yaml_file support to the model-building pipeline.
Deep-merges the secrets YAML into the already-loaded input before validation.
Tracks validation errors from values supplied by the secrets file as secrets_yaml_file, so errors point at the private overlay when applicable.
Adds --secrets to rendercv render and includes the secrets file in watch-mode input tracking.
Keeps CLI field overrides higher priority than the secrets overlay.
Testing
Passing locally:
uv run pytest tests/schema/test_rendercv_model_builder.py tests/cli/render_command/test_run_rendercv.py tests/cli/render_command/test_render_command.py -q
uv run --frozen --all-extras ty check src tests
Note: uv run --frozen --all-extras prek run --all-files may fail on current main because of the pre-commit/ty version mismatch handled separately in #744. The remaining failure is unrelated to this feature branch.
Non-goals / Security note
This is not a secret manager. The file is only read locally and merged before validation; users should keep it git-ignored.
