#55: Add GPG_PRIVATE_KEY secret pass-through and remove committed GPG keys

[chetankh239]

Summary

• Adds GPG_PRIVATE_KEY secret pass-through to maven-build/maven-publish-to-nexus jobs in .github/workflows/push-trigger.yml, alongside the existing GPG_SECRET.
• Removes the leaked .github/keys/mosipgpgkey_pub.gpg and .github/keys/mosipgpgkey_sec.gpg from tracking and ignores .github/keys/ going forward.

Test plan

• Confirm push-trigger.yml still parses/runs on this branch
• Confirm publish job succeeds once GPG_PRIVATE_KEY secret is configured at the org/repo level

Ref: mosip/mosip-labs#55

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Improved automated build and release workflows for an additional development branch.
  • Updated Java 21 build, publishing, container, and code-quality automation.
  • Enhanced secure handling of signing credentials during release operations.
  • Added safeguards to prevent local key files from being included in version control.

Walkthrough

The CI workflow now runs for gpg-migration, uses updated reusable workflow references, and passes GPG private key secrets to Maven and Nexus jobs. The repository also ignores .github/keys/.

Layer / File(s)	Summary
CI triggers and reusable workflow wiring .github/workflows/push-trigger.yml, .gitignore	The workflow adds the gpg-migration push trigger, updates reusable workflow references, passes GPG_PRIVATE_KEY to Maven and Nexus jobs, and ignores .github/keys/.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🔴 Critical · up to cafa8

This change removes committed key files but still requires signing-key rotation and historical purge, and it exposes signing material through pull-request-capable workflows with mutable dependencies and broad token permissions. Unauthorized artifact signing or credential exposure remains possible, so the PR should not merge until those controls are corrected.

Poem

A migration branch now joins the stream,
GPG keys stay out of the dream.
Maven and Nexus receive their sign,
Docker and Sonar follow the line.
CI flows onward, clean and secure.

In @.github/workflows/push-trigger.yml:
- Line 26: Add a workflow-level permissions block near the top-level jobs
configuration, granting GITHUB_TOKEN only contents: read. Do not add broader
permissions unless an existing workflow step explicitly requires them.
- Line 28: Update all four reusable workflow references in the GitHub Actions
configuration to use their reviewed, immutable 40-character commit SHA values
instead of mutable branch refs such as gpgupdate-masterj21 and master-java21.
Preserve each workflow’s existing source and invocation while pinning only the
ref.

In @.gitignore:
- Line 32: Revoke and rotate the signing key referenced by GPG_PRIVATE_KEY, then
update the secret with the replacement key. Purge mosipgpgkey_sec.gpg and any
other historical private-key blobs from repository history, and invalidate
existing clones according to repository policy.
