Flask-JWT-Extended 4.7.1 empty JWT_SECRET_KEY behavior config validation
💡 Result:
In Flask-JWT-Extended (including version 4.7.1), the library validates the secret key configuration at runtime during the token encoding or decoding process, rather than during the initial Flask application startup [1][2]. If you are using a symmetric signing algorithm (the default), the library checks for the secret key using the following logic [1]: 1. It first checks if JWT_SECRET_KEY is defined in the Flask application configuration (app.config). 2. If JWT_SECRET_KEY is not set (is None or empty), it automatically falls back to using the application's Flask SECRET_KEY [1][3][4]. 3. If neither JWT_SECRET_KEY nor the Flask SECRET_KEY is set, the library will raise a RuntimeError when an attempt is made to encode or decode a token [1][2]. The library does not perform an eager validation of these keys when the JWTManager is initialized; therefore, an empty configuration will not prevent the application from starting [1][2]. Instead, the runtime error occurs only when the application attempts to perform a cryptographic operation requiring the key [1][2]. For asymmetric algorithms (e.g., RS256), the library mandates the explicit configuration of JWT_PRIVATE_KEY and/or JWT_PUBLIC_KEY, and it will raise a RuntimeError if these specific keys are missing [1][2].

Fail fast when JWT_SECRET_KEY is blank.
docker-compose.yml loads .env; the deployment workflows do not load .env_template. If .env contains a blank value, the application accepts it, and Flask-JWT-Extended raises a RuntimeError during token operations because no fallback secret is configured. Reject blank values at startup and document that deployments must provide a high-entropy secret.
