Optional Environment Variables

Use these only after the core stack is already healthy. They extend the platform with better search, media generation, billing, external databases, and research-specialized flows.

Rule of thumb

Start with:

  • one working MODEL_CONFIGS entry
  • valid auth secrets
  • one healthy storage path
  • a successful make stack-build

Then layer optional provider keys only for the surfaces you actually plan to use.
