feat: support ${VAR} env var interpolation in config secrets
Allow config.json to reference environment variables via ${VAR_NAME}
syntax. Variables are resolved at runtime by resolve_config_env_vars(),
keeping the raw templates in the Pydantic model so save_config()
preserves them. This lets secrets live in a separate env file
(e.g. loaded by systemd EnvironmentFile=) instead of plain text
in config.json.

### Environment Variables for Secrets
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of storing secrets directly in `config.json`, you can use `${VAR_NAME}` references that are resolved from environment variables at startup:
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"channels": {
|
||||
"telegram": { "token": "${TELEGRAM_TOKEN}" },
|
||||
"email": {
|
||||
"imapPassword": "${IMAP_PASSWORD}",
|
||||
"smtpPassword": "${SMTP_PASSWORD}"
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
"providers": {
|
||||
"groq": { "apiKey": "${GROQ_API_KEY}" }
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
For **systemd** deployments, use `EnvironmentFile=` in the service unit to load variables from a file that only the deploying user can read:
|
||||
|
||||
```ini
|
||||
# /etc/systemd/system/nanobot.service (excerpt)
|
||||
[Service]
|
||||
EnvironmentFile=/home/youruser/nanobot_secrets.env
|
||||
User=nanobot
|
||||
ExecStart=...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# /home/youruser/nanobot_secrets.env (mode 600, owned by youruser)
|
||||
TELEGRAM_TOKEN=your-token-here
|
||||
IMAP_PASSWORD=your-password-here
|
||||
```
|
||||
