🔒 Security

• All API keys are stored in environment variables

• Google OAuth uses secure token exchange

• No sensitive data is logged or stored in plain text

⚠️ Important Security Practices

NEVER commit API keys to version control!

• Always use .env files for your API keys (already in .gitignore)

• If using setup-env.bat or setup-env-windows.bat scripts, replace placeholders with your actual keys locally

• Keep your API keys private and rotate them immediately if exposed

• For Windows users: Copy the setup script templates, add your keys, but do NOT commit them back to the repository
