…iguration ### Description This PR addresses a medium-severity secrets and configuration management vulnerability within the `defi-sdk` repository[cite: 49]. It removes tracked cryptographic key material from the local development and testing environment configuration to prevent accidental exposure or misuse of embedded credentials[cite: 49]. ### Key Changes * **Secrets Management (`hardhat.config.ts`):** - Removed three hardcoded private keys that were previously embedded directly in the local Hardhat network configuration (`hardhat.config.ts:54-61`)[cite: 49]. - Replaced the explicit, static `accounts` block with an environment-driven approach that conditionally loads `WALLET_PRIVATE_KEY`. If no key is provided, the configuration falls back safely to Hardhat's default ephemeral generated accounts, continuing to serve the local test network without relying on repository-held key material[cite: 49]. ### Validation & Testing * **Static Verification:** Syntax and diff checks passed, confirming the removal of the sensitive keys without introducing structural formatting issues[cite: 49]. * **Reviewer Action Required:** Full native suite validation (`npm --prefix defi-sdk exec --no-- hardhat compile`) remains explicitly blocked because Hardhat and its dependencies were intentionally not installed in the offline audit environment[cite: 49]. A maintainer must install dependencies and run the repository's native compilation and test suites locally before merging. Additionally, if the removed keys were ever used on public networks (mainnet or testnets), they must be considered compromised and should be revoked/drained by the repository owners, as they remain in the Git history[cite: 49].
