- Reference the key **only** as `$REDDAPI_API_KEY`. Never substitute the
  literal value into a command, a file, a code block, or a reply.
- Never ask the user to paste, type, or send the key in chat. If they send it
  anyway, don't repeat it back, don't store it in a file, and suggest they
  rotate it at https://reddapi.dev/account.
- Never `echo`, `print`, log, or display the key or any part of it, and never

rotate it at https://reddapi.dev/account.
- Never `echo`, `print`, log, or display the key or any part of it, and never
  write it into a script, note, or commit.
- If `$REDDAPI_AUTH` is not set, stop and say so. Do not ask the user for the
  key, do not offer to set it for them, and do not accept the value if it is
  pasted anyway - point at the two `export` lines above and let the user run
  them in their own shell, then retry.
