πŸ’‘ What: Removed load_dotenv() from README.md Python Quick Start examples and replaced them with explicit export terminal commands. Created .jules/scribe.md to document the critical learning.
🎯 Why: If a new developer copies the Python block without first creating a .env file, the script crashes with a ValueError because load_dotenv fails silently if the file is missing but load_config then throws an error. Alternatively, if they run the script without python-dotenv installed, it crashes with ModuleNotFoundError.
🧠 Cognitive Impact: Fixes first-run crash. Eliminates hidden file state dependencies, making the "front door" of the project much smoother.

Preview:

export IMEDNET_API_KEY="your_api_key"
export IMEDNET_SECURITY_KEY="your_security_key"

Removes the hidden `python-dotenv` dependency and `load_dotenv()` from the Python code blocks in the Quick Start section of `README.md`. It adds explicit bash `export` instructions instead, ensuring that the examples are fully self-contained and copy-pasteable, preventing "first-run crashes" for new developers. Also records this insight in `.jules/scribe.md`.
