#
# DESCRIPTION:  Centralized, environment-aware configuration management using
#               Pydantic for robust validation and type safety. This version is
#               updated to allow the application to start even if the optional
#               API key is missing.

    # --- ARCHITECTURAL IMPROVEMENT ---
    # The GOOGLE_API_KEY is now optional. By setting the type to Optional[str]
    # and the default to None, Pydantic will no longer raise a validation
    # error if the key is not found in the environment. This allows the
    # application to start successfully. The check for its existence will
    # be performed at runtime in the callback logic.
