I found potential secrets in the codebase and redacted them. Please review and rotate these secrets! 🛡️✨

Code Review

This pull request replaces the standard placeholder 'your-api-key-here' with 'REDACTED_BY_JULES' in JULES_API.md and README.md. The reviewer correctly identifies these changes as false positives from an automated redaction tool and suggests reverting them to the original placeholder to ensure the documentation remains clear and easy to follow.

Important

The consumer version of Gemini Code Assist on GitHub is being sunset. Starting June 18, 2026, new organization installations will be blocked, and all code review activity will officially cease on July 17, 2026.
For more details on the timeline and next steps, please review the Help Documentation.

This is a false positive. The value "your-api-key-here" is a standard placeholder used in documentation to guide users on where to insert their actual API key. Replacing it with 'REDACTED_BY_JULES' makes the example less clear and harder to understand. It should be reverted to the original placeholder.

Suggested change
export JULES_API_KEY='REDACTED_BY_JULES'
export JULES_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"

Set it as an environment variable — **never commit it**:
```bash
export JULES_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
export JULES_API_KEY='REDACTED_BY_JULES'
