Notechondria

Version: 0.1.4 Build Date: 2026-04-07T07:00

What's Changed

Environment variable naming consistency

  • Unified naming convention: every variable is now prefixed by its subsystem (DJANGO_, POSTGRE_, SMTP_, FRONTEND_, BACKEND_, etc.) with no unprefixed fallbacks.
  • Renamed SECRET_KEY → DJANGO_SECRET_KEY (removed dual-read fallback in settings.py).
  • Renamed DEBUG → DJANGO_DEBUG (removed dual-read fallback).
  • Renamed ALLOWED_HOSTS → DJANGO_ALLOWED_HOSTS (removed unprefixed fallback).
  • Renamed CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS → DJANGO_CSRF_TRUSTED_ORIGINS (removed unprefixed fallback).
  • Renamed CUSTOM_DOMAIN → BACKEND_CUSTOM_DOMAIN.
  • Renamed PRODUCTION_STATIC_ROOT → DJANGO_PRODUCTION_STATIC_ROOT.
  • Renamed PRODUCTION_MEDIA_ROOT → DJANGO_PRODUCTION_MEDIA_ROOT.
  • Renamed EMAIL_VERIFICATION_TTL_HOURS → SMTP_EMAIL_VERIFICATION_TTL_HOURS.
  • All three sample env files (sample.env, sample.test.env, sample.render.env) reorganised into labelled sections (Django Core, PostgreSQL, Docker Ports, SMTP Email, Frontend, OpenAI, GitHub App, Docker Images, Docker Infrastructure, Render/MCP) with full spec for every variable including those with code defaults.
  • backend/docker-compose.yml no longer passes duplicate old-name keys (SECRET_KEY, DEBUG, ALLOWED_HOSTS) alongside their DJANGO_-prefixed counterparts.
