Keep local environment files next to the app or package that reads them.
The web app does not require any local environment variables yet. If a
browser-safe value is added later, place it in apps/web/.env.local and
prefix it with NEXT_PUBLIC_ so Next.js can expose it to client code.
Create apps/api/.env when you need to override local API settings:
PORT=4000PORTis optional and defaults to4000.
Prisma reads the database connection string from DATABASE_URL:
DATABASE_URL="postgresql://user:password@localhost:5432/taskflow"
