requireEnv has no tests: boot-time env validation is uncovered

Labels / Complexity: testing · Trivial — Trivial

Summary

src/lib/requireEnv.ts (requireEnvStrict) fails fast when required env vars are missing — the same class of boot gate the BackEnd has in validate-env.ts. It has no tests. A regression that lets the app boot without required secrets ships silently and surfaces only in deployment.

Proposal

• Add a spec covering present, missing, and empty-value cases.

Acceptance criteria

• The spec asserts the strict-validation behavior; it passes via npm test.

Getting started

• src/lib/requireEnv.ts — the helper
• src/lib/__tests__/ — existing lib test patterns

Commands: npm test.

Good first files to read: src/lib/requireEnv.ts.
