Your .env.example Is Lying to You, Here's How to Fix It

Short summary

Environment variable example files drift from actual code because developers forget to update them when adding new variables. Schema-based generation (like CtroEnv) auto-produces .env.example from a single source of truth, preventing mismatches. Integrate schema validation into CI and pre-commit hooks to catch discrepancies before they reach the repo.

• •.env.example files drift from code when new variables are added but examples aren't updated
• •Schema-based generation keeps documentation automatically in sync with actual requirements
• •Pre-commit hooks and CI validation catch missing or stale variables early
