❔ getting sensitive config from .csproj
Now that you mention it - indeed why not just use System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable - no need to modify csproj. I think I got derailed as I originally wanted different envs for prod and dev, but again - just getting env vars directly could be enough

that exactly prevents checking them in source as they're just references, i.e. $(EMAIL_USERNAME)

✅ Reading a yaml file that has multiple types
Here's the solution I came up with - intermediate deserialization to json, this way I avoid having to define a model. Would you say there are any immediate shortcomings, other than everything being string by default? 
using YamlDotNet.Serialization;
using YamlDotNet.Serialization.NamingConventions;
using System.Text.Json.Nodes;

public static class GetConfigFromYaml {
  public static JsonNode GetKey(string key) {
    var configName = $"conf.{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT") ?? "dev"}.yml";
    
    // deserialize yml-string to yml
    var obj = new StringReader(File.ReadAllText(configName));
    var yamlObj = new Deserializer().Deserialize(obj);

    // serialize yml to json-string
    var serializer = new SerializerBuilder()
      .WithNamingConvention(UnderscoredNamingConvention.Instance)
      .JsonCompatible()
      .Build();
    var json = serializer.Serialize(yamlObj);
    
    // deserialize json-string to json
    var jsonObj = JsonNode.Parse(json)!;
    
    return jsonObj[key] ?? throw new Exception($"key {key} not found in {configName}");

  }
}
using YamlDotNet.Serialization;
using YamlDotNet.Serialization.NamingConventions;
using System.Text.Json.Nodes;

public static class GetConfigFromYaml {
  public static JsonNode GetKey(string key) {
    var configName = $"conf.{Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("ASPNETCORE_ENVIRONMENT") ?? "dev"}.yml";
    
    // deserialize yml-string to yml
    var obj = new StringReader(File.ReadAllText(configName));
    var yamlObj = new Deserializer().Deserialize(obj);

    // serialize yml to json-string
    var serializer = new SerializerBuilder()
      .WithNamingConvention(UnderscoredNamingConvention.Instance)
      .JsonCompatible()
      .Build();
    var json = serializer.Serialize(yamlObj);
    
    // deserialize json-string to json
    var jsonObj = JsonNode.Parse(json)!;
    
    return jsonObj[key] ?? throw new Exception($"key {key} not found in {configName}");

  }
}
invoking 
var foo = GetConfigFromYaml.GetKey("foo").ToString();
Console.WriteLine($"foo value: {foo}");

var fooList = GetConfigFromYaml.GetKey("foo_list").AsArray().Select(x => x!.ToString()).ToList();
Console.WriteLine(fooList[0]);

var fooDict = GetConfigFromYaml.GetKey("foo_dict").AsObject().ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value!.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(fooDict["key1"]);
var foo = GetConfigFromYaml.GetKey("foo").ToString();
Console.WriteLine($"foo value: {foo}");

var fooList = GetConfigFromYaml.GetKey("foo_list").AsArray().Select(x => x!.ToString()).ToList();
Console.WriteLine(fooList[0]);

var fooDict = GetConfigFromYaml.GetKey("foo_dict").AsObject().ToDictionary(x => x.Key, x => x.Value!.ToString());
Console.WriteLine(fooDict["key1"]);

✅ Reading a yaml file that has multiple types
that still requires defining types for all keys in yaml. I suppose I'm wondering (coming from python, so very new) is there a way to query for a value without first defining the types? i.e. dynamic value = configuration[key]; whereas value could be anything - list, string - and leaving up to the user to interact with value correctly?

✅ nuget naming nuances - Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Yaml doesn't belong to Microsoft
aha I see. So since Microsoft is reserved, presumably Microsoft.Extensions.Configuration.Yaml is delegated to that owner?

ahh I see. I wrongly assumed void and Task are both valid types, depending on your needs, but seems async code should always (for beginners atleast) be Task - is that correct? As per your suggestion, changed using to be declerative - using HttpClient client = new();
