/**
 * Regression (Codex C3): loadConfig() must NOT mutate process.env.
 *
 * The plan initially proposed "loadConfig() propagates config fields to env",
 * which is global-state leakage. Codex pushed back. loadConfig() now READS env
 * vars but never writes them — the gateway receives a config object directly.
