Description
I don't have langfuse configured locally (and don't particualrly want to). So when I run apollo, my console is bombarded with langfuse errors:
Authentication error: Langfuse client initialized without public_key. Client will be disabled. Provide a public_key parameter or set LANGFUSE_PUBLIC_KEY environment variable.

These are super distracting when trying to read the logs and understand what's going on internally.
I'd love to rethink the langfuse code and find a way to sidestep all these errors.

Research direction
The issue does not name any files or tests. Start by locating Langfuse initialization and reproduce an Apollo run without configuration; determine where the repeated authentication and context warnings originate. Done means unconfigured local runs no longer flood the console while Apollo continues to operate.
