Follow-up to #572.
That change moved three variables from
${VAR:-}to the bare-key form, because theempty string those produce was overriding defaults and killing the first step of the
README's quick start.
UTOPIA_APP_DB_PASSWORDwas correctly left alone: it is readby
docker/init-app-role.sh, which tests[ -z ], so empty and unset already meanthe same thing there.
But the file now carries two shapes with nothing saying why, which is an invitation
for the next person to tidy it into one. This adds the reason next to the variable:
the difference is not style, it is who reads the value.
No behaviour change.
