Environment variables
Process and .env variables read by Defend Settings for ports, model ids, thresholds, API keys, and session tuning.
Settings loads from the environment and optional .env in the working directory (see defend_api/config.py). Declared keys are injected into os.environ so provider SDKs see the same values.
