The documentation (<https://www.pulumi.com/docs/intro/concepts/secrets/>) lead me to believe that `config.requireSecret('my-secret')` would create a non-existing secret automatically in the stack config, however if I do this I get a error that the configuration value is missing. Do I need to manually add a secret before using or is there a way to have them generated programattically when missing?

config.requireSecret() pulls data from your Pulumi.&lt;stack name&gt;.yaml

Yeh as Brian said requireSecret means try to read from the stack config and error if it's missing. To set a secret use `pulumi config set --secret key value`
