Description
As discussed on zulip, there should be some kind of support for reading environment variables via dotenv files. I think there are two possibilities here.
- Have a
.envfile be automatically loaded on any program using the platform. - Have a function like
Dotenv.loadorEnv.loadDotenvof typeTask {} _which loads the dotenv file and makes later calls toEnv.varuse the new environment variables.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked Zulip discussion and tracing the existing Env.var handling in the platform. Resolve whether dotenv files should load automatically or through an explicit API, then define the expected precedence and verification coverage; no source file or test is named in the issue.
