Description

🌈 Feature

This feature already exists on server clones. There's a tab called 'Server Control Panel' which doesn't appear on React clones. It allows you to store environment variables for your application. It's not hard to see how this feature would prove useful.

Research direction

Start by comparing the existing Server Control Panel for server clones with the React clone interface, since the issue identifies that tab as the reference behavior. Done means frontend clones provide an equivalent way to store environment variables and secrets; the payload does not name specific files or tests.
