# ── What to watch ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Comma-separated tickers. Use "trending" (or run with --trending) for
# whole-market mode. Default when unset: NVDA,AAPL,MSFT,TSLA
# WATCHLIST=NVDA,AAPL,MSFT,TSLA

# MIN_RELEVANCE=7              # only alert on score >= this (1–10, default 7)
# CATEGORIES=earnings,insider  # restrict to these categories (optional)
# EXCLUDE_CATEGORIES=crypto    # drop these categories (optional)
# PER_TICKER_LIMIT=5           # max articles per ticker per poll (default 5)
# POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS=300    # cadence in --watch mode (default 300)
# STATE_FILE=.alerts-state.json
# FIRST_RUN_BACKFILL=0         # deliver N newest on first run, else seed silently

# ── Where to email it ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────
# Required unless you run with --dry-run (which writes ./out/*.eml instead).
# SMTP_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
# SMTP_PORT=587
# SMTP_SECURITY=starttls       # starttls (587) | ssl (465) | none
# SMTP_USERNAME=you@gmail.com
# SMTP_PASSWORD=your_app_password   # Gmail: create an App Password, not your login
# SMTP_TIMEOUT=30

# EMAIL_FROM=you@gmail.com
# EMAIL_TO=you@gmail.com,teammate@example.com   # comma-separated
# EMAIL_SUBJECT_PREFIX=[AlphAI]                 # optional subject tag
# EMAIL_OUT_DIR=out            # where --dry-run writes .eml previews

# Force dry-run via env (same as the --dry-run flag):
# DRY_RUN=true

# Four tickers at 300s cost ~1,152 requests/day before retries.
# Free (100/day): use POLL_INTERVAL_SECONDS=3600 (~96/day), fewer tickers,
# or a slower schedule; other calls and retries share the daily budget.
# PER_TICKER_LIMIT supports 1-20 on every tier.
# Dry runs use STATE_FILE + .dry-run; keep that file separate from delivery state.
