# RAG/SigNoz observability (app/observability/config.py). OTEL_MODE is one of
# disabled|local|full. Both OTEL_ENABLED=true and a non-disabled OTEL_MODE are
# required during normal product startup. Unset/absent is a safe no-op, and
# DEPLOYMENT_ENV=demo always forces telemetry off so hosted demo/container
# deployments never attempt to reach a developer's local collector.
# EVALUATION_RUN=true is set by the benchmark harness only.
