What kind of change does this PR introduce?
Feature: Add environment variable configuration for OpenAI settings to enable custom API endpoints and models
Why was this change needed?
This change allows users to configure custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints and models through environment variables, enabling integration with alternative AI providers like Ollama, OpenRouter, or other OpenAI-compatible APIs. Previously, the application was hardcoded to use OpenAI's specific models and endpoints, limiting flexibility for users who want to use different AI providers.
The changes include:
OPENAI_BASE_URL: Allows custom base URL for OpenAI-compatible APIsOPENAI_CHAT_MODEL: Configurable chat model (defaults to gpt-4.1)OPENAI_IMAGE_MODEL: Configurable image generation model (defaults to dall-e-3)This maintains backward compatibility while providing the flexibility needed for different deployment scenarios.
