docs: ✍️ Scribe: Missing dotenv fallbacks in examples#940
Conversation
Added full fallback shell export instructions for environment variables (including `IMEDNET_BASE_URL`) across quickstart documentation and example scripts. `dotenv.load_dotenv()` silently fails when `.env` is missing, which causes broken onboarding paths and missing variable errors for new users if alternative export instructions are incomplete.

💡 What: Added fallback shell export instructions (including
IMEDNET_BASE_URL) directly alongsideload_dotenv()usage indocs/quick_start.rst,docs/async_quick_start.rst,examples/quick_start.py,examples/async_quick_start.py, andexamples/build_form_payload.py.🎯 Why:
dotenv.load_dotenv()fails silently if no.envfile exists. If a user skipscp .env.example .envand there are no documented shell exports to fall back on, the application crashes with missing variable errors, frustrating first-time users.🧠 Cognitive Impact: Fixes first-run crashes. Removes ambiguity about how to configure the application when not using a
.envfile, reducing the "Time to Understand" configuration requirements.📖 Preview:
