+# Azure Relay Tests - Regression Test Documentation
+
+## The Bug
+
+**Issue**: Azure relay tests failed with authentication error even when OIDC credentials were configured.
+
+**Root Cause**: GitHub Actions secrets are **not accessible** in workflow `if:` conditional expressions. They always evaluate to empty strings in that context.
+
+## Reproduction of the Bug
+
+### Original Code (Broken)
+```yaml
+# In .github/workflows/azure-relay-tests.yml (commit f26dc90)
+
+- name: Azure Login (OIDC)
+  if: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID != '' }}  # ❌ Always FALSE
+  uses: azure/login@v2
+  with:
+    client-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}
+    tenant-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_TENANT_ID }}
+    subscription-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID }}
+
+- name: Azure Login (Legacy)
+  if: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID == '' && secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS != '' }}  # ❌ Only checks AZURE_CREDENTIALS
+  uses: azure/login@v2
+  with:
+    creds: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}
+```
+
+### What Happened
+1. Even when `AZURE_CLIENT_ID`, `AZURE_TENANT_ID`, and `AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID` secrets were configured
+2. The condition `if: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID != '' }}` **always evaluated to false**
+3. OIDC login step was always skipped
+4. Legacy login step always ran (checking only AZURE_CREDENTIALS)
+5. Login failed with: "Not all values are present. Ensure 'client-id' and 'tenant-id' are supplied"
+
+### Why It Failed
+GitHub Actions **does not expose secret values** in the `if:` conditional context. Per GitHub's security model:
+- Secrets can be used in `with:` parameters (e.g., `client-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}`)
+- Secrets can be used in `run:` shell scripts (e.g., `echo "${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}"`)
+- Secrets **cannot** be accessed in `if:` expressions - they're always empty
+
+## The Fix
+
+### Fixed Code (Working)
+```yaml
+# Step 1: Add auth_type output to check-credentials job
+check-credentials:
+  outputs:
+    has_credentials: ${{ steps.check.outputs.has_credentials }}
+    auth_type: ${{ steps.check.outputs.auth_type }}  # NEW
+  steps:
+    - name: Check if Azure credentials are configured
+      id: check
+      run: |
+        # Secrets ARE accessible in shell scripts
+        if [ -n "${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}" ] && [ -n "${{ secrets.AZURE_TENANT_ID }}" ] && [ -n "${{ secrets.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID }}" ]; then
+          echo "has_credentials=true" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
+          echo "auth_type=oidc" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT  # NEW
+        elif [ -n "${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}" ]; then
+          echo "has_credentials=true" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
+          echo "auth_type=legacy" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT  # NEW
+        else
+          echo "has_credentials=false" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
+          echo "auth_type=none" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT  # NEW
+        fi
+
+# Step 2: Use auth_type output in conditionals (not secrets)
+- name: Azure Login (OIDC)
+  if: ${{ needs.check-credentials.outputs.auth_type == 'oidc' }}  # ✅ Works!
+  uses: azure/login@v2
+  with:
+    client-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID }}
+    tenant-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_TENANT_ID }}
+    subscription-id: ${{ secrets.AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID }}
+
+- name: Azure Login (Legacy)
+  if: ${{ needs.check-credentials.outputs.auth_type == 'legacy' }}  # ✅ Works!
+  uses: azure/login@v2
+  with:
+    creds: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CREDENTIALS }}
+```
+
+## Regression Test
+
+The automated regression test is in `.github/workflows/test-workflow-logic.yml`.
+
+### Test Cases
+
+1. **Verify auth_type output exists**
+   - Ensures the fix is in place
+   - Checks that `auth_type:` is declared in job outputs
+
+2. **Verify all auth_type branches are set**
+   - Confirms `auth_type=oidc` for OIDC credentials
+   - Confirms `auth_type=legacy` for legacy credentials
+   - Confirms `auth_type=none` for no credentials
+
+3. **Verify no direct secret checks (the bug)**
+   - Fails if it finds `if: ${{ secrets.AZURE_CLIENT_ID` in Azure Login steps
+   - This is the regression test - it would fail on the original broken code
+
+4. **Verify correct auth_type usage**
+   - Confirms Azure Login (OIDC) checks `auth_type == 'oidc'`
+   - Confirms Azure Login (Legacy) checks `auth_type == 'legacy'`
+
+### Running the Test Locally
+
+```bash
+# Run the validation checks
+cd .github/workflows
+bash -c '
+  # Test that would FAIL on original broken code
+  if grep -A 5 "name: Azure Login" azure-relay-tests.yml | grep -q "if:.*secrets\.AZURE_CLIENT_ID"; then
+    echo "❌ REGRESSION: Found the bug - direct secret check in conditional"
+    exit 1
+  fi
+
+  # Test that would PASS on fixed code
+  if grep -A 5 "name: Azure Login (OIDC)" azure-relay-tests.yml | grep -q "auth_type == .oidc."; then
+    echo "✅ PASS: Using auth_type output (the fix)"
+  fi
+'
+```
+
+### Manual Verification
+
+You can also verify the fix works by checking the workflow run logs:
+
+**Before fix (run 21325698059)**:
+```
+Azure Login (OIDC): Skipped
+Azure Login (Legacy): Running
+Error: Not all values are present. Ensure 'client-id' and 'tenant-id' are supplied.
+```
+
+**After fix**:
+```
+check-credentials:
+  ✓ Azure OIDC credentials are configured
+  has_credentials=true
+  auth_type=oidc
+
+deploy-infrastructure:
+  Azure Login (OIDC): Running (auth_type == 'oidc') ✓
+  Azure Login (Legacy): Skipped (auth_type != 'legacy') ✓
+  Login successful ✓
+```
+
+## Impact
+
+This fix is critical for:
+- ✅ OIDC authentication to work when configured
+- ✅ Scheduled Azure relay tests to run successfully
+- ✅ P2P relay functionality validation in Azure
+- ✅ Proper credential detection and selection
