Commit the rebuilt dist/index.js bundle.

pnpm build generates a bundle containing coreModule.setSecret(apiKey). Commit this artifact because the published action executes dist/index.js; otherwise the old bundle can expose api-key values in workflow logs.

Add setSecret to the test double and assert its call.

createCore does not define setSecret, so the run test throws before it constructs GhostAdminApiClass. Add a setSecret mock and assert that it receives exactly key.
