Description

What was changed

Added a small config loader that reads environment variables and validates required fields (e.g., RPC URLs, ports, alerting config). The app now fails fast with a clear error message when required config is missing.

Why it was changed

Without early validation, the service can start and fail later with unclear runtime errors. Fast, descriptive config validation improves reliability and onboarding.

How to test

  1. Start the app with a valid env file and confirm it starts normally.
  2. Remove one required env var and start again.
  3. Confirm the app exits with a clear “missing/invalid config” error message.
