How can GitHub Actions encrypted secrets be used in if: conditionals within a workflow job?

Option B sounds like a lot of work just to use a simple encrypted secret. I'll stick with C and keep things simple.

I'm not sure, but I think option D could also work if we expose the encrypted secret via a step's output parameter.

Haha, can you imagine trying to expose a secret through a step's output? That's like putting your password on a Post-it note!
