Greptile Summary

This PR adds environment variable configuration to the Helm chart for three new feature areas: Vertex AI integration, organizations/permission groups, and OTLP telemetry.

Changes Made:

• Added VERTEX_PROJECT and VERTEX_LOCATION for Google Vertex AI configuration (lines 110-112)
• Added TELEMETRY_ENDPOINT for OTLP logging/traces (line 82)
• Added ADMIN_API_KEY for admin API authentication (line 154)
• Added four organization/access control flags: ACCESS_CONTROL_ENABLED, ORGANIZATIONS_ENABLED, and their corresponding NEXT_PUBLIC_* variants for UI visibility (lines 157-160)
• Minor formatting fix: removed trailing whitespace on line 79

Review Findings:

• All added variables are properly defined in apps/sim/lib/core/config/env.ts with appropriate validation schemas
• Variables are actively used throughout the codebase (Vertex AI in providers, telemetry in instrumentation, admin/orgs in API routes)
• Documentation comments are clear and follow existing patterns
• Default values are sensible (empty strings for optional configs, "us-central1" for Vertex location, "false" for feature flags)
• Consistent with the existing helm chart structure and naming conventions

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with no concerns
• All added environment variables are properly documented, have sensible defaults, match existing patterns in the codebase, and are used by the application code
• No files require special attention
