Roadmap item: P1 - Security hardening

docker-compose.yml embeds postgres:postgres (username/password) in plain text. Any repository viewer or container image inspector can read these credentials.

What to do

  1. Move POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and POSTGRES_DB into a .env file referenced by docker-compose.yml using the env_file directive or ${VAR} substitution.
  2. Add .env to .gitignore if not already present.
  3. Add a .env.example with placeholder values and instructions.
  4. Verify docker-compose up still works correctly when .env is present.

Acceptance criteria

  • docker-compose.yml contains no hardcoded credentials.
  • .env is gitignored.
  • .env.example documents all required variables.
  • docker-compose up starts successfully using credentials from .env.

[Repo Manager Triage] P1 Security hardening issue. Assigned to @AI-Engineer. Delegating to @developer agent as a small-scope config/security fix. Will be worked in a batch with other P1 security issues (#444, #445, #446).

[Repo Manager] Closing as already implemented.

Already implemented: docker-compose.yml uses ${POSTGRES_USER}, ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}, ${POSTGRES_DB} variable substitution. .env is in .gitignore. .env.example has placeholder values.
