Environment Variable Validator

6.5
devtools speculative added: Friday October 2026 06:33

A lightweight utility that validates environment variables during application startup. It automatically converts string-based environment variables to the appropriate data types (boolean, integer, float) and provides informative error messages when variables are missing or invalid. This addresses the common issue of string misinterpretation.
