Description
This will make developing CollectOSS easier by allowing a developer to essentially `uv run` the CollectOSS CLI to test things out without having to muck around quite as much with environment variables
We should use `python-dotenv`'s `load_dotenv` function for this
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the CollectOSS CLI entry point and inspect how its runtime configuration and dependencies are declared. Use python-dotenv's load_dotenv as requested, then run the CLI with a local .env file to verify that its values are read without manually exporting environment variables.
