✍️ Scribe: Fix broken quickstart onboarding path#772
Conversation
💡 What: Added `load_dotenv()` from `python-dotenv` to the quick start examples (`examples/quick_start.py` and `examples/async_quick_start.py`) and updated the `README.md` to reflect this code addition. Removed the confusing caveat that warned users they had to add this themselves. 🎯 Why: The previous `README.md` instructed users to copy `.env.example` to `.env` to authenticate, but running the examples failed with a misleading "API key required" error because the code didn't actually parse the `.env` file. This is a common and immediate blocker for new users. 🧠 Cognitive Impact: Fixes a first-run crash. A new developer can now copy `.env.example`, fill it out, and immediately run `poetry run python examples/quick_start.py` successfully. This matches the behavior of the CLI and eliminates a frustrating "why isn't my config working?" moment. 📖 Preview: ```python from dotenv import load_dotenv # Load environment variables from .env file if it exists load_dotenv() # Load credentials from environment variables cfg = load_config() ``` Co-authored-by: google-labs-jules[bot] <161369871+google-labs-jules[bot]@users.noreply.github.com>
