Is there a reason why Livebook secrets are automatically prepended with LB?
I spent probably 15 minutes trying to figure this out until I ran into What's new in Livebook 0.7 - Livebook.dev - The Livebook Blog and actually read through it because it’s somewhat buried at the end after a video.
You add a secret, API_SECRET_KEY, but to actually fetch it, you need to fetch LB_API_SECRET_KEY. Is there a reason for this?

Added an issue: [Usability] Help text/popup/description that env variables are prefixed with LB_ · Issue #1827 · livebook-dev/livebook · GitHub
And while writing it discovered that there’s help text, but I never saw it

I think one of the reasons is that a defined namespace allows Livebook to detect “environment variables” that Livebook is supposed to manage and give them special treatment.
Here’s a quick GIF video showing that difference:

I see no reason other than well intended namespacing…with confusion as result.
