This pull request updates the environment variable loading logic in the
backend/app/database.pyfile to make the application startup more robust, especially in Docker environments. The new approach avoids failures if the.envfile is missing when environment variables are already provided.Environment variable loading improvements:
_load_env_filefunction that loads the.envfile only if theDATABASE_URLenvironment variable is not already set, and gracefully handles missing.envfiles to prevent startup failures. (backend/app/database.py)
