# Secrets must never be baked into an image layer — `docker-compose.yml`
# injects them at container-start via `env_file: .env` instead, which sets
# real process environment variables. This matters beyond "don't leak the
# file": config/loader.py's `_get_env` reads `.env` via `dotenv_values`
# FIRST, before falling back to `os.environ` — if `.env` were copied into
# the image, its baked-in values (e.g. QDRANT_URL=http://localhost:6333)
# would silently WIN over the compose-network override
# (QDRANT_URL=http://qdrant:6333) that makes the app reach the qdrant
# service at all. Excluding `.env` from the build context is what makes the
# os.environ fallback path the one that actually runs in the container.
