Conversation
A dictionary secret mounted as a directory (whole secret, no key) is refreshed in the running container when the secret changes. Single-key file mounts, opaque secrets, and env vars still need a redeploy. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Documents how to mount a secret so a running workload picks up a new value without a redeployment.
reference/workload/volumes: new Live Secret Updates section. A dictionary secret mounted as a directory (uri: cpln://secret/NAME, no.KEY) is refreshed in place. Propagation takes up to about 10 minutes, and the app must re-read the files (watch the directory, because the update is a symlink swap). Env vars, single-key file mounts, and opaque secrets keep their old value until a redeploy.reference/secret: the "Updating Secrets" section said every update needs a redeploy. It now names the exception and links to the new section.guides/create-secret/dictionary: adds a Tip under "Mount as Directory".llms.txt/skill.md: one line each so agents stop saying every secret change needs a redeploy.How it was tested
A standard workload, with each mount type below:
cpln://secret/NAME.KEY) mounted as a filecpln://secret/NAME) mounted as a directoryOpen questions for review
userpass,keypair, and so on) also refresh? The docs only claim dictionary for now.Checks
