Now I have sufficient evidence to provide the rewritten review comment. Based on my comprehensive verification:

Verified: DATABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL, GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID/SECRET, RESEND_API_KEY, EMAIL_FROM are actually used in the codebase.

Not Found: BETTER_AUTH_URL, BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, EMAIL_FROM_NAME, SUPPORT_EMAIL are documented but not referenced or implemented in the codebase. Additionally, .env.example (referenced in README line 53) does not exist, and the Prisma datasource block is missing the url field.

Environment variables documentation includes unimplemented variables and references missing setup files.

The documentation at lines 53-79 documents the following variables that are not actually used or implemented in the codebase:

  • BETTER_AUTH_URL — not referenced in auth configuration
  • BETTER_AUTH_SECRET — not referenced in auth configuration
  • EMAIL_FROM_NAME — only EMAIL_FROM is used (lib/notifications/email-service.ts:39)
  • SUPPORT_EMAIL — no implementation found

Critical issues:

  1. Line 53 references .env.example with cp .env.example .env.local, but this file does not exist in the repository
  2. prisma/schema.prisma datasource block is incomplete—it lacks url = env("DATABASE_URL"), which is required for Prisma to use the DATABASE_URL environment variable

Verified as implemented: DATABASE_URL, NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL, GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID, GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET, RESEND_API_KEY, EMAIL_FROM.

Remove or update the four undocumented variables, create or reference .env.example, and add the missing Prisma datasource url field.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents 
In README.md around lines 53–79, the docs list environment variables that aren’t
implemented (BETTER_AUTH_URL, BETTER_AUTH_SECRET, EMAIL_FROM_NAME,
SUPPORT_EMAIL), reference a non-existent .env.example, and Prisma’s datasource
is missing url; remove or mark those four vars as optional/unused (or implement
them if intended), add a real .env.example file and update the README command
(cp .env.example .env.local) to reference it, and add the missing url =
env("DATABASE_URL") line to prisma/schema.prisma’s datasource block so Prisma
picks up DATABASE_URL.

```

Update `.env.local` with your credentials:

- `DATABASE_URL` for PostgreSQL (direct connection).
- `BETTER_AUTH_SECRET`, `BETTER_AUTH_URL`, `NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL`.
- OAuth providers such as `GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID` and `GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET`.
- Optional integrations (`RESEND_API_KEY`, Stripe keys, etc.).
