Context

Roadmap item: P1 - Security hardening

docker-compose.yml embeds postgres:postgres as plain-text credentials. Committing credentials to source control is a security risk.

Task

  • Create a .env.example file with placeholder values for POSTGRES_USER, POSTGRES_PASSWORD, and any other secrets
  • Update docker-compose.yml to reference variables (e.g., ${POSTGRES_USER}) instead of literal values
  • Add .env to .gitignore if not already present
  • Update the README / developer setup guide to explain copying .env.example to .env

Acceptance Criteria

  • docker-compose.yml contains no literal credential values
  • .env.example exists with safe placeholder values
  • .env is in .gitignore
  • docker compose up works after copying and populating .env

Resolved: docker-compose.yml uses env var references instead of hardcoded credentials. .env.example documents the required values.

Closing as resolved -- the implementation is merged into main.
