Environment variables

The frontend reads the following environment values. Do not put passwords, tokens, or private API keys in VITE_* values because Vite makes them available to the client bundle.

Variable	Required in source validation	Purpose	Safe example
VITE_API_BASE_URL	Yes: validateEnvironment() warns when absent	Base URL for frontend API requests; fallback in config is http://localhost:3000/api	https://api.example.com/api
VITE_API_TIMEOUT	No; fallback is 10000	Axios request timeout in milliseconds	30000
MODE	Vite-provided; not listed as required	App environment selection, used by configuration and development logging	development

The project also has backend environment variables, but they are not frontend variables and should be managed separately on the server. This page intentionally includes no live environment values.
