Environment variable reference #542
Description
Write docs/environment-variables.md: one table of every environment variable across all four apps — name, which app reads it, required vs optional, default, and what breaks if it is wrong. Source it from apps/backend/src/config.ts, .env.example, apps/backend/src/config/rateLimits.ts, the NEXT_PUBLIC_* vars in apps/web, and the AI agent's settings.
Acceptance criteria:
- Every variable in
.env.exampleappears, plus any read directly viaprocess.envthat.env.exampleomits - Marks which variables are validated at boot by
config.ts(crash on start) vs. read lazily (silent misbehaviour) - Flags secrets explicitly and states they must never be committed
- Notes which
NEXT_PUBLIC_*values are compiled into the client bundle and therefore public
