πŸ’‘ What: Added a clarifying note to the README.md Configuration section regarding how .env files are loaded.

🎯 Why: While the imednet CLI automatically uses python-dotenv to load .env files, the SDK's load_config() method only checks existing environment variables (os.getenv). This mismatch creates a confusing onboarding path where a new user might copy an example script, create a .env file, and still receive an authentication error.

🧠 Cognitive Impact: Prevents a common "first-run crash" for users writing custom scripts, reducing debugging time and clarifying the boundaries between the CLI's magic behavior and the SDK's explicit requirements.

πŸ“– Preview:

Note: imednet.load_config() only reads from existing environment variables (os.getenv). While the CLI automatically loads .env files, standalone Python scripts must explicitly call load_dotenv() from the python-dotenv package to read from a .env file before calling load_config().
