For "transport" string encoding issues, making the pathway from GH Secrets to: nomad/orchestration to: env var inside the container, we switch the [NEWLINE] chars to [SPACE] chars, and then swap the 1st & last [SPACE] chars to the string "NEWLINE", eg:

-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----NEWLINE<value with SPACE chars>NEWLINE-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

with something like this:

cat RSA_PKEY.key |tr '\n' ' ' |perl -pe 's/(KEY-----) /$1NEWLINE/; s/ (-----END)/NEWLINE$1/'

We then later swap "NEWLINE" strings to "\n" (newline characters) in the JSON file in entrypoint.sh just before the npm start happens at the start of the container.
