export function checkReadOnlyMode(): { blocked: boolean; message?: string } { const env = getEnv(); if (env.READ_ONLY) { return { blocked: true, message: "❌ Operation blocked: Server is running in READ_ONLY mode. Set READ_ONLY=false in your environment to enable write operations." }; } return { blocked: false }; }
