Running stripe listen --forward-to prints a signing secret beginning with whsec_ on startup. That secret belongs to the temporary endpoint the CLI creates for the session and is not the secret shown for any endpoint configured in the dashboard. Using the dashboard secret against CLI-forwarded traffic fails with No signatures found matching the expected signature for payload, the same message a body-parsing bug produces, so the two causes are routinely confused.

The CLI secret is generally stable across restarts for the same logged-in account, which makes it safe to put in a local environment file. Confirm by diffing the printed secret against the dashboard value. Read the secret from an environment variable that is set differently for local development and for deployed environments.
