I struggled to find the CertificateFile variable in the Action Group, because that is not returned as a result when searching. Only the “SignTool…” actions were found. Is this WAD?

That’s a bug, for some reason search into actiongroup variables is broken - will look into it.

Well as it turns out, search is only looking at the action group variables default values, not the variable names. A build is running now with the fix, will post a link here when it’s uploaded.
