# .env file automatically: the settings layer reads os.environ directly, so
# export these in your shell (or copy this file to a git-ignored .env and load
# it yourself, e.g. `set -a; . ./.env; set +a`). Values here are placeholders.
# These variables belong to the optional model-provider layer; delete this

`os.environ` directly.
