Throw an error if OPENAI_API_KEY is not set in production environment## Summary

Add validation for required environment variables during application startup.

Changes Made

  • Added checks for critical environment variables.
  • Improved startup validation by detecting missing configuration values early.
  • Provided clearer error messages for invalid or incomplete setups.

Why This Change?

The application currently falls back to empty strings for several important environment variables. This can allow the application to start successfully but fail later at runtime when services such as OpenAI integrations or external providers are accessed.

Validating required configuration at startup helps surface configuration issues immediately and simplifies debugging.

Impact

  • Improves application reliability.
  • Reduces runtime failures caused by missing environment variables.
  • Provides clearer feedback during deployment and local development.
  • Makes configuration requirements more explicit.
