This document verifies the correct configuration of the GEMINI_API_KEY from GitHub Secrets to the chatbot code.

Configuration Chain

GitHub Repository Secret: GEMINI_API_KEY
         ↓
GitHub Actions Workflow: secrets.GEMINI_API_KEY
         ↓
Environment Variable (Build): GEMINI_API_KEY
         ↓
Docusaurus Config: process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY
         ↓
Custom Fields: customFields.GEMINI_API_KEY
         ↓
AutoBot Component: siteConfig.customFields?.GEMINI_API_KEY

Verification Results

✅ 1. GitHub Workflows (.github/workflows/)

deploy.yml:

- name: Build
  run: yarn build
  env:
    GEMINI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.GEMINI_API_KEY }}

test.yml:

- name: Build
  run: yarn build
  env:
    GEMINI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.GEMINI_API_KEY }}

Status: ✅ Correctly references secrets.GEMINI_API_KEY

---

✅ 2. Docusaurus Configuration (docusaurus.config.js)

customFields: {
  GEMINI_API_KEY: process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY || '',
},

Status: ✅ Correctly reads from process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY

---

✅ 3. AutoBot Component (src/components/AutoBot/index.tsx)

const apiKey = (siteConfig.customFields?.GEMINI_API_KEY as string) || '';

if (!apiKey || !apiKey.trim()) {
  console.error('[AutoBot] Gemini API key not configured.');
  console.error('[AutoBot] For local development: Set GEMINI_API_KEY in .env file');
  console.error('[AutoBot] For production: Add GEMINI_API_KEY to GitHub Secrets');
  return null;
}

Status: ✅ Correctly reads from siteConfig.customFields?.GEMINI_API_KEY

---

✅ 4. Environment File (.env.example)

# Gemini API Key for AutoBot chatbot
# Get your API key from: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/api-key
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

Status: ✅ Uses consistent name GEMINI_API_KEY

---

✅ 5. Test Files

chatbot-api.test.js:

const apiKey = process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY;

Status: ✅ Correctly reads from process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY

How to Set Up

For Local Development

1. Copy .env.example to .env:

   cp .env.example .env

2. Edit .env and add your API key:

   GEMINI_API_KEY=your_actual_api_key_here

3. Restart the development server

For Production (GitHub Pages)

1. Go to Repository Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
2. Click "New repository secret"
3. Name: GEMINI_API_KEY
4. Value: Your Gemini API key
5. Click "Add secret"

The deployment workflow will automatically use this secret during the build process.

Verification Tests

Run the following commands to verify the configuration:

# Verify model configuration
npm run verify-models

# Test chat history (no API key needed)
npm run test:history

# Test API functionality (requires GEMINI_API_KEY)
GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key npm run test:api

# Run all tests with report
npm test

---

Conclusion

✅ All configuration is correct and consistent.

The GEMINI_API_KEY is used with the exact same name throughout the entire stack:

• GitHub Secret name: GEMINI_API_KEY
• Environment variable name: GEMINI_API_KEY
• No legacy REACT_APP_GEMINI_API_KEY references remain

The chatbot will correctly read the API key from GitHub Secrets when deployed.
