Problem
The README.md documents environment variables with the CSV_EDITOR_ prefix, but the actual codebase uses DATABEAK_ prefixes, causing configuration to fail.
Inconsistent Section
README.md lines 287-294 documents:
| Variable | Default | Description |
|----------|---------|-------------|
| `CSV_EDITOR_MAX_FILE_SIZE_MB` | 1024 | Maximum file size in MB |
| `CSV_EDITOR_CSV_HISTORY_DIR` | "." | History directory path |
| `CSV_EDITOR_SESSION_TIMEOUT` | 3600 | Session timeout in seconds |
| `CSV_EDITOR_CHUNK_SIZE` | 10000 | Processing chunk size |
| `CSV_EDITOR_AUTO_SAVE` | true | Enable auto-save |
README.md lines 62-64 shows example with old prefixes:
"env": {
"CSV_EDITOR_MAX_FILE_SIZE_MB": "1024",
"CSV_EDITOR_CSV_HISTORY_DIR": "/tmp/csv_history"
}
Authoritative Section
src/databeak/models/csv_session.py line 232:
model_config = {"env_prefix": "DATABEAK_", "case_sensitive": False}
This means the actual environment variables are:
DATABEAK_MAX_FILE_SIZE_MB
DATABEAK_CSV_HISTORY_DIR
DATABEAK_SESSION_TIMEOUT
DATABEAK_CHUNK_SIZE
DATABEAK_AUTO_SAVE
Why This Should Be Corrected
- Configuration Failure: Users following README instructions will have their environment variables ignored
- Brand Consistency: The project has been renamed from csv-editor to DataBeak
- Support Issues: Users will report "configuration not working" when following documented examples
- Installation Problems: MCP server configurations in README will not apply settings correctly
Recommended Action
Update all environment variable references in README.md to use DATABEAK_ prefix instead of CSV_EDITOR_ prefix.
