Secret create returned no data for

Error message

Secret create returned no data for ${candidate.secretName}

What it means

migrateInlineEnv posted a secret create for a migrated env binding and got a falsy response, so the new secret id is unavailable and migration cannot record it; a sentinel guard on the API result.

Solutions

1. Retry the create; if it persists, check server logs and that the secret name is valid.
