[workshop-sync] workshop/side-quest-16-02-secrets-and-permissions.md: Mislinked 'GitHub Secrets' reference points to safe-outputs docs #3611

Description

Workshop file reviewed

workshop/side-quest-16-02-secrets-and-permissions.md

Problem

Line 14 links the term "GitHub Secrets" to the gh-aw safe-outputs reference page, which documents safe output processing (create-issue, add-comment, etc.) — not credential/secrets storage:

**[GitHub Secrets](https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/safe-outputs/)** gives you a secure vault for sensitive values that workflows can read without exposing.

The linked page has nothing to do with GitHub Secrets; it is a mismatched/incorrect reference that will confuse readers who click through expecting secrets documentation.

Current correct reference

GitHub's own documentation on encrypted secrets in Actions is the right target for this concept, e.g. https://docs.github.com/actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions. Alternatively, link to the gh-aw permissions/frontmatter reference pages that this same file already correctly uses elsewhere (https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/permissions/, https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/frontmatter/).

Suggested fix

Replace the https://github.github.com/gh-aw/reference/safe-outputs/ URL on line 14 with the official GitHub Actions secrets documentation link (or another accurate reference), so the "GitHub Secrets" link matches its target content.
