    #this shows that the environment secrets are loaded when the job is inline. If you open the last Action run logs you will see that MY_SECRET is NOT empty. But this job is inline and it is not reusable. If you copy and paste it multiple times, you would end up having lots of repeated lines.

    #this won't work because the workflow-template-fix has MY_SECRET as a required secret. It throws a template compilation error. That is why it is commented. It is here just to show you what not do to.
