Environment Configuration
Non-Negotiable Rules
| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
| NEVER commit .env to git | Secrets persist in history forever |
| NEVER log secret values | Logs stored in plain text, forwarded |
| NEVER hardcode secrets | Source code is widely shared |
| ALWAYS use .env.example | Documents vars without exposing values |
| ALWAYS add .env* to .gitignore FIRST | Prevents accidental commit |
| ALWAYS validate config at startup | Fail fast, not hours into production |
