X_SECRETS_FILE_INVALID

Means

the encrypted secrets file is not a readable envelope

Typical cause

a merge conflict marker, a truncated write, an unknown v or alg, or a header field that is not base64. Nothing reached authentication, so this is not tampering

Fix

git checkout -- secrets.enc.json — the file is written only by x secrets, never by hand
