Description

Currently when you specify a non-existing secret in the service manifest and make a deployment, you won't get any error message until the ECS keeps failing to create any stable task, and it takes quite long time for rollback to complete. It would be nice if Copilot can validate the existence for the secrets specified and give a warning or error out if any of them does not exist.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore how the Copilot CLI currently parses service manifests and retrieves secrets. Understand the deployment flow and locate where secret validation could be added. Look at existing AWS Secrets Manager API calls in the codebase.
