# Env Patterns

## When to use

Use this when the task mentions:

- environment variables, config loading, `.env`, defaults
- “works locally but not in CI”
- AWS env vars (`AWS_REGION`, `AWS_PROFILE`) or other runtime configuration

## Canonical repo doc

Read your repo’s environment/config conventions doc (commonly `docs/env-patterns.md`).
