The application was failing to render on Vercel (white screen) because it was attempting to access the Gemini API key via `process.env.API_KEY`. This is not supported in Vite for client-side code. This commit corrects the implementation to use `import.meta.env.VITE_GEMINI_API_KEY`, which is the standard way to expose environment variables to the client in a Vite application. Additionally, a `.env.local` file has been created to support local development, and `*.local` has been confirmed to be in `.gitignore`.

This commit fixes a critical bug that caused a white screen to appear when the application was deployed to Vercel.
The root cause was the incorrect method of accessing environment variables in a Vite project. The code was using
process.env.API_KEYto access the Gemini API key, which is not available in the client-side bundle created by Vite.The fix involves:
services/geminiService.tsto useimport.meta.env.VITE_GEMINI_API_KEY, which is the correct way to access environment variables in Vite..env.localfile with a dummy key to facilitate local development..env.localis included in.gitignoreto prevent leaking secrets.This change allows the application to initialize correctly by providing the necessary API key, thus resolving the blank screen issue. For the fix to work in production, the
VITE_GEMINI_API_KEYenvironment variable must be set in the Vercel project settings.PR created automatically by Jules for task 8553076711892104706 started by @orbiscode-ops
