bug: MissingManagedEnvFileError: Missing env file: env/local.public in managed worker

[mulyoved]

Provide environment information

• trigger.dev SDK: v4.4.3
• Runtime: node-22
• Platform: Trigger.dev Cloud (api.trigger.dev)

Describe the bug

Managed runs fail during worker bootstrap with MissingManagedEnvFileError: Missing env file: env/local.public. The error occurs before trigger.config.ts loads — in trigger.dev's internal managed worker bootstrap (scripts/dev/env/trigger-config-bootstrap.ts).

Environment variables ARE configured in the dashboard for this project.

trigger.config.ts

import dotenv from "dotenv";
dotenv.config(); // line 11 — the bootstrap fails before this even runs

Additional information

The referenced files (scripts/dev/env/process.ts, trigger-config-bootstrap.ts) are not in the npm package or public repo — they appear to be part of the managed cloud worker infrastructure. The managed worker seems to expect env/local.public to exist on the worker filesystem before loading the user config.
