I have provided every relevant configuration, setting, and environment variable used in my setup.
I have clearly listed every relevant configuration, custom setting, environment variable, and command-line option that influences my setup (such as Docker Compose overrides, .env values, browser settings, authentication configurations, etc).
I have documented step-by-step reproduction instructions that are precise, sequential, and leave nothing to interpretation. My steps:
Start with the initial platform/version/OS and dependencies used,
Specify exact install/launch/configure commands,
List URLs visited, user input (incl. example values/emails/passwords if needed),
Describe all options and toggles enabled or changed,
Include any files or environmental changes,
Identify the expected and actual result at each stage,
Ensure any reasonably skilled user can follow and hit the same issue.

@crimoc-lgtm I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure what your question is. Could you please rephrase it? Which API key are you referring to? Is it the API key for a large language model or for an online search engine?

对不起，我有点没能看懂你的问题是什么，你可以用中文重新描述一下吗？是什么的api-key？是大模型的api-key还是联网搜索引擎的api-key。
