The backend starts even when model env vars are missing. That's fine, and it makes sense that docs/API can still come up.
The confusing part is that the first real task fails later, and the error does not immediately tell me which model env var is missing. It would be clearer if task execution said something like: backend is running, but task execution still needs VLM_API_KEY, VLM_BASE_URL, and VLM_MODEL.
