	# - env.global.dev.yaml (for development)
	# - env.global.prod.yaml (for production)
	#
	# SECURITY NOTE: Never commit real secrets to this file!
	# This is a template - edit the actual env.global.dev.yaml and env.global.prod.yaml files

	* Creates a Vercel-compatible environment file from the web app's .env.local file
	*
	* This script converts the generated .env.local file into a format that can be

	*
	* Key differences from .env.local format:
	* - Removes quotes around values (Vercel adds them automatically)
