One-time provider key
The provider credential shown once after compute-key creation and then kept only by the maintainer.
A one-time provider key is the provider credential shown to a maintainer after a compute key is created. opub shows the secret once so the maintainer can put it in a local tool configuration.
In opub, the one-time provider key is how donated compute becomes usable without storing provider secrets for later display. The project keeps provider metadata for accounting, while the maintainer keeps the secret credential.
If the secret is lost, the maintainer should create another compute key or rotate their setup. The public project ledger should reflect spend and balances, not reveal provider credentials.
