Secret written in a form the engine no longer reads
The check compat/secrets, in the group Engine compatibility.
Why it matters
A secret referenced as {{secrets.NAME}} or in the old connector syntax is deprecated and is dropped in a later version.
How to fix it
Write the secret as a FEEL expression, camunda.secrets.NAME.
Where you see it
The Problems tab lists it under Engine, the editor marks the element on the canvas, and penstock check reports it as compat/secrets. It checks the diagram against the engine and the version it is written for: the version in the file's modeler:executionPlatformVersion, or the newest one when the file has none. Operaton and CIB seven are checked as Camunda 7. This check is free.
To turn it off, set camunda-compat/secrets or compat/secrets to off in your .bpmnlintrc. See Validation.
