Bug: `AUTH_SECRET` missing from `celery` service environment in `docker-compose.prod.yml`

Description

The celery service in docker-compose.prod.yml is missing the AUTH_SECRET environment variable, which causes it to crash on startup with the following error:

ValueError: AUTH_SECRET environment variable is not set. Please set it in your .env file.

This happens because flowsint_core/core/auth.py validates the presence of AUTH_SECRET at import time — and celery imports from flowsint_core on startup.

Steps to reproduce

Clone the repo
Copy .env.example to .env and set all required variables including AUTH_SECRET
Run docker compose -f docker-compose.prod.yml up
flowsint-celery-prod crashes immediately and restarts in a loop

Expected behavior

Celery worker starts successfully.

Actual behavior

ValueError: Couldn't import 'flowsint_core.core.celery': AUTH_SECRET environment variable is not set.

Fix

Add AUTH_SECRET to the celery service environment block in docker-compose.prod.yml:

celery:
  environment:
    - AUTH_SECRET=${AUTH_SECRET}

Note: the api service already correctly passes this variable — it was simply omitted from celery.

Environment

OS: Windows 10 / Docker Desktop with WSL2 backend
Flowsint version: latest main
