## Title

    [LangSmith SDK] pull_prompt: "Failed to load prompt. The prompt manifest contains secrets ... security patch in langsmith 0.5.1 that disabled reading secrets from environment variables by default."

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Since 0.5.1 secrets are no longer read from env by default when deserializing manifests.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/langsmith-sdk/c51e722026138478b728884d9a3b504ef2ba8ea0/python/langsmith/client.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Error message explains the 0.5.1 change and lists secrets= (recommended) and secrets_from_env=True options.
    
    Search phrasings: langsmith pull prompt manifest contains secrets; langsmith 0.5.1 secrets_from_env; pull_prompt include_model api key error
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
