GitHub integration setup guide is missing the webhook secret configuration step, causes silent failure of all webhook processing

The self-hosting GitHub integration setup guide walks users through creating a GitHub App and configuring the webhook URL, but does not document that the GitHub App's Webhook Secret field must be set to match the instance's WEBHOOK_SECRET environment variable (default: plane-silo).

Without this configuration, silo's HMAC-SHA256 signature verification silently fails for every incoming webhook. The webhook endpoint returns 202 (accepted) and logs the arrival, but no downstream processing occurs. No error is logged. There is no UI indication that anything is wrong — the integration appears correctly configured (workspace connected, entity sync enabled, PR state mapping saved) but no sync actually happens.

Impact:
I spent approximately 14 hours over two sessions debugging this exact issue before discovering the undocumented webhook secret requirement. I tried rotating credentials, fixing URL schemes (http→https in multiple env vars and oauth_applications table rows), re-encoding private keys, container recreation, database state verification, and numerous other paths before realizing the webhook secret field on the GitHub App side was empty while silo expected a matching value.
The failure mode is particularly hard to diagnose because:

Setup appears successful at every visible step
Silo logs the webhook arrival ("Github Webhook Payload") and returns 202
No error is surfaced anywhere — to users or to admins
Signature verification failure is not logged

Proposed documentation change:
In the "Create GitHub App" section, after the "Webhook URL" step (step 7), add a new step:

Webhook Secret (Required)
In the Webhook section, set the Secret field to match your Plane instance's WEBHOOK_SECRET environment variable. The default value is plane-silo.
Without a matching webhook secret, silo's signature verification will silently reject every incoming webhook and the integration will appear working but produce no sync activity. This is required for both issue and PR sync to function.

Additional suggestion:
Consider surfacing a health check or warning in the Plane UI when webhooks are arriving at silo but failing signature verification. Silent-drop failure modes are very difficult for users to self-diagnose.

Suchen Sie den GitHub-Integrationsleitfaden für Self-Hosting und lesen Sie den Abschnitt "Create GitHub App" rund um Schritt 7, einschließlich der vorhandenen Anweisungen zur Webhook-URL. Fügen Sie den erforderlichen Schritt für Webhook Secret mit dem Wert WEBHOOK_SECRET hinzu und erklären Sie die Auswirkung einer Nichtübereinstimmung; abgeschlossen ist die Aufgabe, wenn der Leitfaden die Einrichtung für die Synchronisierung von Issues und PRs klar abdeckt, ohne den optionalen Vorschlag für einen UI-Health-Check auszuweiten.
