Centralized configuration for the AI Product Catalog + RAG backend.
SECURITY NOTE
--------------
The previous version of this project had a serious problem: `settings.py`
hard-coded a *live* database host, port and password as Python literal
fallbacks (`os.getenv("DB_HOST", "<real ip>")`, etc.). That means the
real production credentials shipped inside the source code itself - in
every copy, every zip export, and every git commit - regardless of
whether a `.env` file was present.
This rewrite removes every hard-coded secret. Every credential
(DB_PASSWORD, S3 keys, Google API key, ...) is read ONLY from the
environment (via a local `.env` file, loaded through python-dotenv, or
real OS/container environment variables). Non-secret values (ports,
feature flags, model names) keep sane, publicly-safe defaults so the
project still boots out of the box for local development.
If a secret-shaped variable is required for a feature that is enabled
(e.g. `USE_PGVECTOR=true` but no `DB_PASSWORD` set), we raise a clear
`RuntimeError` at settings-load time instead of silently connecting
with an empty/placeholder password. Fail loudly, not insecurely.

# the deployment platform injects its Environment tab into the container, so a
# stale value left in that tab overrides the credentials baked into the image
# (backend/Dockerfile copies .env.production to /app/.env) and the only symptom

# for uploads to run without manual intervention, and a review queue that needs
# an admin to press a button is not that.

# rows), and BATCH_QUEUE_MAX behind a single worker thread - so a sender can

# and the row simply keeps its blank description. It is set true so the pipeline

# of _ensure_client - USE_OLLAMA=true with nothing listening, which is any
# developer machine that has not run `ollama serve`. It is answered now by the

Parse ``API_KEYS`` - ``name:role:secret`` triples, comma-separated.
Keyed by secret because that is what an inbound request presents. One entry
per consumer is the point: a shared key cannot be revoked for one caller
without breaking all of them.
Secrets must be at least API_KEY_MIN_LENGTH characters. That is not about
guessing the key over the network - the lockout and the network itself make
online brute force impractical - but about what /api/health publishes. It
reports a truncated digest of every configured key so a deployment can be
checked against the config it was built from, and a digest of a *raw* secret
is only safe when the secret is unguessable offline. An admin password hash
embeds a random salt, so its fingerprint discloses nothing; an API key has no
salt, and a hand-picked "changeme" would fall to a wordlist in seconds.
Generate one with: python -c "import secrets; print(secrets.token_urlsafe(32))"
