Environment Variables Reference

Complete reference for every environment variable recognized by OmniRoute. For a quick-start template, see .env.example.

Important

Every variable documented here must also appear in .env.example, and every variable in .env.example must appear here. npm run check:env-doc-sync enforces this on commit and in CI. To omit a variable on purpose, add it to the allowlist inside scripts/check/check-env-doc-sync.mjs.

1. Required Secrets

These must be set before the first run. Without them, the application will either refuse to start or operate with insecure defaults.

Variable	Required	Default	Source File	Description
JWT_SECRET	Yes	(none)	src/lib/auth	Signs/verifies all dashboard session cookies (JWT). Generate with openssl rand -base64 48.
API_KEY_SECRET	Yes	(none)	src/lib/db/apiKeys.ts	AES encryption key for API key values at rest in SQLite. Generate with openssl rand -hex 32.
INITIAL_PASSWORD	Yes	CHANGEME	Bootstrap script	Sets the initial admin dashboard password (matches .env.example default — kept obviously insecure to force a change). Change before first use. After login, change via Dashboard → Settings → Security.
OMNIROUTE_WS_BRIDGE_SECRET	Yes (production)	(unset)	src/app/api/internal/codex-responses-ws/route.ts	Shared secret for the internal Codex Responses WebSocket bridge. Authenticates bridge requests between the Electron/browser WS relay and OmniRoute. ⚠️ REQUIRED in production — when unset, all WS bridge requests are rejected. Generate with openssl rand -base64 32.
OMNIROUTE_PEER_STAMP_TOKEN	No (auto)	(auto per boot)	src/server/authz/policies/management.ts	Per-process secret proving the trusted peer-IP stamp came from OmniRoute's own HTTP server (scripts/dev/peer-stamp.mjs). The authz middleware trusts request locality (loopback/LAN gating of LOCAL_ONLY routes) only when the stamp carries this token. Auto-generated each boot — leave unset; only pin it for multi-process setups that must share the stamp.

Generation Commands

# Generate all four secrets at once:
echo "JWT_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 48)"
echo "API_KEY_SECRET=$(openssl rand -hex 32)"
echo "INITIAL_PASSWORD=$(openssl rand -base64 16)"
echo "OMNIROUTE_WS_BRIDGE_SECRET=$(openssl rand -base64 32)"

Caution

Never commit .env files with real secrets to version control. The .gitignore already excludes .env, but verify before pushing.

2. Storage & Database

OmniRoute uses SQLite (via better-sqlite3) for all persistence. These variables control data location, encryption, and lifecycle.

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
DATA_DIR	~/.omniroute/	src/lib/db/core.ts	Root directory for SQLite DB, backups, and data files. Override for Docker volumes or custom paths.
STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY	(empty = disabled)	src/lib/db/encryption.ts	AES key for full SQLite database encryption at rest. Generate with openssl rand -hex 32.
STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY_VERSION	v1	scripts/build/bootstrap-env.mjs, electron/main.js	Version label for the encryption key. Increment when performing key rotation to support decryption of old backups.
DISABLE_SQLITE_AUTO_BACKUP	false	src/lib/db/backup.ts	When true, skips the automatic database backup that runs before migrations on every startup.
OMNIROUTE_CRYPT_KEY	(unset)	src/lib/db/encryption.ts	Legacy alias for STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY. Accepted as a fallback when the primary variable is absent.
OMNIROUTE_API_KEY_BASE64	(unset)	src/lib/db/encryption.ts	Legacy alias (Base64-encoded form) accepted as a fallback. Decoded automatically before use.
OMNIROUTE_DB_HEALTHCHECK_INTERVAL_MS	(unset)	src/lib/db/core.ts	Override the periodic SQLite healthcheck interval (ms). When unset, defaults are derived from NODE_ENV.
OMNIROUTE_SKIP_DB_HEALTHCHECK	0	src/lib/db/core.ts, src/lib/db/healthCheck.ts	Set to 1 to skip the DB healthcheck entirely on startup. Useful for short-lived tasks and integration tests.
OMNIROUTE_FORCE_DB_HEALTHCHECK	0	src/lib/db/core.ts	Set to 1 to force the DB healthcheck loop on, even when it would normally be skipped (e.g., short-lived tasks).
OMNIROUTE_SKIP_POSTINSTALL	0	scripts/postinstall.mjs	Set to 1 to skip the native-runtime warm-up during npm install. Useful in CI/headless installs where sqlite is already built.
OMNIROUTE_MIGRATIONS_DIR	(auto-detect)	src/lib/db/migrationRunner.ts	Override the directory that the migration runner scans. Useful when shipping bundled migrations in custom builds.
OMNIROUTE_MAX_PENDING_MIGRATIONS	50	src/lib/db/migrationRunner.ts	Mass-pending-migrations safety threshold (#3416). Startup aborts if more than this many migrations are pending on an existing DB (guards against a wiped tracking table). Raise it to restore an older backup; set to 0 to disable the check.
OMNIROUTE_SPEND_FLUSH_INTERVAL_MS	(default in code)	src/lib/spend/batchWriter.ts	Flush interval (ms) for the batched spend/cost writer. Lower values reduce write coalescing; higher values reduce DB contention.
OMNIROUTE_SPEND_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE	(default in code)	src/lib/spend/batchWriter.ts	Max buffered spend entries before a forced flush. Raise on high-QPS deployments; lower when bounded memory matters more.
OMNIROUTE_PROXY_FETCH_DEBUG	(unset)	open-sse/utils/proxyFetch.ts	Set to "true" to emit [ProxyFetch] debug logs on the Vercel relay path. Off by default to avoid leaking routing hints.
BATCH_RETRY_DURATION_MS	86400000 (24h)	open-sse/services/batchProcessor.ts	Maximum retry window for individual batch items (ms). Items exceeding this duration are marked failed.
BATCH_BACKOFF_BASE_MS	5000	open-sse/services/batchProcessor.ts	Base delay (ms) for exponential backoff on batch item retries.
BATCH_BACKOFF_MAX_MS	3600000 (1h)	open-sse/services/batchProcessor.ts	Cap (ms) for exponential backoff between batch item retries.
BATCH_MAX_CONCURRENT	1	open-sse/services/batchProcessor.ts	Maximum number of batches processed concurrently. Raise to increase throughput; keep low to avoid rate-limit storms.

Scenarios

Scenario	Configuration
Local development	Leave all defaults. DB lives at ~/.omniroute/omniroute.db.
Docker	DATA_DIR=/data + mount a volume at /data.
Encrypted at rest	Set STORAGE_ENCRYPTION_KEY + keep backups of the key! Losing it = losing data.
CI/Testing	DATA_DIR=/tmp/omniroute-test — ephemeral, no encryption needed.

3. Network & Ports

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
PORT	20128	src/lib/runtime/ports.ts	Primary port for both Dashboard UI and API endpoints (single-port mode).
API_PORT	(unset)	src/lib/runtime/ports.ts	When set, serves the /v1/* proxy API on this separate port.
API_HOST	0.0.0.0	src/lib/runtime/ports.ts	Bind address for the API port.
DASHBOARD_PORT	(unset)	src/lib/runtime/ports.ts	When set, serves the Dashboard UI on this separate port.
PROD_DASHBOARD_PORT	20130	docker-compose.prod.yml	Host-side published port for the Dashboard in Docker production mode.
PROD_API_PORT	20131	docker-compose.prod.yml	Host-side published port for the API in Docker production mode.

LIVE_WS_HOST	127.0.0.1	src/server/ws/liveServer.ts	Bind address for the live WebSocket server. Set to 0.0.0.0 to expose on LAN (also configure LIVE_WS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS).
LIVE_WS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS	(unset)	src/server/ws/liveServer.ts	Comma-separated extra origins allowed to open a live WebSocket. Loopback dashboard origins are already permitted by default.
OMNIROUTE_ENABLE_LIVE_WS	true	src/server/ws/liveServer.ts	Set to 0 or false to disable the real-time WebSocket server (enabled by default, loopback-bound).
OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_LIVE_WS	false	scripts/start-ws-server.mjs	CI/harness toggle that disables the standalone live WebSocket helper script.
RELAY_IP_PER_MINUTE	30	src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/route.ts	Per-(token, IP) relay rate limit, requests/minute. In-memory, per instance. 0 or negative disables the IP-dimension gate (per-token DB limit still applies).
NODE_ENV	production	Next.js core	Controls logging verbosity, caching, error detail exposure, and Next.js optimizations.
OMNIROUTE_USE_TURBOPACK	1 (default in .env.example)	package.json / Next.js 16	Toggles the Next.js 16 Turbopack bundler in npm run dev and npm run build. Set to 0 on Windows or when running into native binding incompatibilities.
OMNIROUTE_SKIP_DB_HEALTHCHECK	(unset)	src/lib/db/core.ts / src/lib/db/healthCheck.ts	Set to 1 to skip the SQLite integrity health check on startup. Useful for faster boot on large databases.
CREDENTIAL_HEALTH_CHECK_INTERVAL	300000	open-sse/config/constants.ts / src/lib/credentialHealth/scheduler.ts	Interval (ms) for the background credential health check scheduler. Minimum: 10000 (10s).
CREDENTIAL_HEALTH_CACHE_TTL	300000	open-sse/config/constants.ts / src/lib/credentialHealth/cache.ts	TTL (ms) for cached credential health status.
OMNIROUTE_DISABLE_CREDENTIAL_HEALTH_CHECK	false	src/lib/credentialHealth/scheduler.ts	Set to 1 or true to disable background periodic testing of provider connections.
HOST	0.0.0.0	scripts/dev/run-next.mjs	Bind address for the Next.js dev/start server. Overrides the default 0.0.0.0 when set.
HOSTNAME	127.0.0.1	scripts/dev/run-next-playwright.mjs	Bind address used by the Playwright runner when launching Next.js. Defaults to 127.0.0.1 for hermetic tests.

4. Security & Authentication

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
MACHINE_ID_SALT	endpoint-proxy-salt	src/lib/auth	Salt combined with hardware identifiers for machine fingerprinting. Change per-deployment for isolation.
OMNIROUTE_CLI_SALT	omniroute-cli-auth-v1	src/lib/machineToken.ts	HMAC salt for deriving the local CLI auth token. Changing this value rotates all CLI tokens on the machine. See docs/security/CLI_TOKEN.md.
AUTH_COOKIE_SECURE	false	src/lib/auth	Sets the Secure flag on session cookies. Must be true when running behind HTTPS.
REQUIRE_API_KEY	false	API middleware	When true, all /v1/* proxy requests must include a valid API key.
ALLOW_API_KEY_REVEAL	false	src/shared/constants/featureFlagDefinitions.ts	Allows revealing full API key values in the Dashboard UI. Configurable from Dashboard Feature Flags; security risk on shared instances.
NO_LOG_API_KEY_IDS	(empty)	src/lib/compliance/index.ts	Comma-separated API key IDs that bypass request logging (GDPR compliance).
DEFAULT_RATE_LIMIT_PER_DAY	1000	src/shared/utils/apiKeyPolicy.ts	Fallback per-day request budget applied to API keys whose rate_limits column is null. Default (unset/empty/malformed) keeps the legacy 1000/day, 5000/week, 20000/month windows. Set explicitly to 0 to opt out (unlimited). Any positive integer N enables N/day, 5N/week, 20N/month. Zod-validated; invalid values log a warning and use the legacy default.
MAX_BODY_SIZE_BYTES	10485760 (10 MB)	src/shared/middleware/bodySizeGuard.ts	Maximum allowed request body size. Rejects payloads exceeding this limit.
CORS_ORIGIN	*	Next.js middleware	CORS Access-Control-Allow-Origin value. Restrict for production.
OUTBOUND_SSRF_GUARD_ENABLED	true	src/shared/network/outboundUrlGuard.ts	Block provider calls targeting private/loopback/link-local IP ranges. Disable only in isolated test envs.
OMNIROUTE_ALLOW_PRIVATE_PROVIDER_URLS	false	src/shared/network/outboundUrlGuard.ts	Allow provider URLs pointing to private/local networks (localhost, 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, etc.). REQUIRED for self-hosted providers (LM Studio, Ollama, vLLM, Llamafile, Triton, SearXNG). When false, the dashboard rejects validation of local URLs.

Hardening Checklist

# Production security minimum:
AUTH_COOKIE_SECURE=true        # Requires HTTPS
REQUIRE_API_KEY=true           # Authenticate all proxy calls
ALLOW_API_KEY_REVEAL=false     # Never expose keys in UI
CORS_ORIGIN=https://your.domain.com
MAX_BODY_SIZE_BYTES=5242880    # 5 MB limit

5. Input Sanitization & PII Protection

OmniRoute provides a two-layer defense: request-side injection scanning and response-side PII stripping.

Request-Side: Prompt Injection Guard

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
INPUT_SANITIZER_ENABLED	false	src/middleware/promptInjectionGuard.ts	Enable scanning of incoming messages for prompt injection patterns.
INPUT_SANITIZER_MODE	warn	src/middleware/promptInjectionGuard.ts	warn = log only, block = reject request with 400, redact = strip suspicious patterns.
INJECTION_GUARD_MODE	(unset)	src/middleware/promptInjectionGuard.ts	Legacy alias for INPUT_SANITIZER_MODE — same behavior.
PII_REDACTION_ENABLED	false	src/middleware/promptInjectionGuard.ts	Detect PII (emails, phones, SSNs) in incoming requests.

Response-Side: PII Sanitizer

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
PII_RESPONSE_SANITIZATION	false	src/lib/piiSanitizer.ts	Scan LLM responses for leaked PII before returning to client.
PII_RESPONSE_SANITIZATION_MODE	redact	src/lib/piiSanitizer.ts	redact = mask PII, warn = log only, block = drop entire response.

VS Code Tokenized-Route Context Sanitizer

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
OMNIROUTE_VSCODE_SANITIZE_CONTEXT	1	src/app/api/v1/vscode/contextSanitizer.ts	Strips implicit active-editor context (editorContext, activeEditor, currentFile, selection, openTabs…) from /v1/vscode/[token]/* requests and redacts content of explicitly-attached sensitive files. Secure-by-default; set to 0 to disable.

Scenarios

Scenario	Configuration
Enterprise compliance	INPUT_SANITIZER_ENABLED=true, INPUT_SANITIZER_MODE=block, PII_REDACTION_ENABLED=true, PII_RESPONSE_SANITIZATION=true
Monitoring only	INPUT_SANITIZER_ENABLED=true, INPUT_SANITIZER_MODE=warn — logs but never blocks
Personal use	Leave all disabled — zero overhead

---

6. Tool & Routing Policies

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
TOOL_POLICY_MODE	disabled	src/lib/toolPolicy.ts	Controls LLM tool/function-calling access. allowlist = only listed tools, denylist = all except listed, disabled = no restrictions.
OMNIROUTE_PAYLOAD_RULES_PATH	./config/payloadRules.json	open-sse/services/payloadRules.ts	Path to payload manipulation rules JSON file (per-model/protocol upstream tweaks).
OMNIROUTE_PAYLOAD_RULES_RELOAD_MS	5000	open-sse/services/payloadRules.ts	Reload interval (ms) for hot-reloading the payload rules file. Minimum 1000.
OMNIROUTE_PREFER_CLAUDE_CODE_FOR_UNPREFIXED_CLAUDE_MODELS	false	open-sse/services/model.ts	Opt-in: route bare claude-* model IDs from Claude Code clients through the Claude Code OAuth account instead of requiring a provider prefix. Explicit provider prefixes still win. Also configurable via a dashboard toggle on the Claude provider page.

---

7. URLs & Cloud Sync

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
BASE_URL	http://localhost:20128	src/lib/cloudSync.ts	Server-side URL for internal sync jobs to call /api/sync/cloud.
CLOUD_URL	(empty)	src/lib/cloudSync.ts	Cloud relay endpoint URL (premium feature).
CLOUD_SYNC_TIMEOUT_MS	12000	src/lib/cloudSync.ts	HTTP timeout for cloud sync requests.
OMNIROUTE_BUILD_PROFILE	full	Webpack build config	Build-time profile (set to minimal to physically exclude privileged modules from bundle).
OMNIROUTE_CLOUD_SYNC_SECRET	(empty)	src/lib/cloudSync.ts	Shared secret used to verify the HMAC-SHA256 signature of Cloud Sync responses.
OMNIROUTE_CLOUD_SYNC_SECRETS	false	src/lib/cloudSync.ts	Set to true to allow the Cloud Sync endpoint to overwrite local credentials. Default is false.
OMNIROUTE_ZED_IMPORT_LEGACY_ONE_STEP	false	src/app/api/providers/zed/import/route.ts	Set to true to fall back to the v3.8.5 one-step "import everything" behavior without user confirmation.
NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL	http://localhost:20128	OAuth, Dashboard, sync	Public-facing URL for OAuth redirect_uri, Dashboard links. Must match your public URL behind reverse proxy.
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUD_URL	(empty)	Client-side	Client-side mirror of CLOUD_URL.
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL	(unset)	src/shared/services/cloudSyncScheduler.ts	Legacy fallback for NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL.
OMNIROUTE_PUBLIC_BASE_URL	(unset)	open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web.ts	Browser-facing OmniRoute origin used for image URLs in API responses (e.g., /v1/chatgpt-web/image/<id>). Set this when OpenWebUI or another relay reaches OmniRoute by an internal URL but the user's browser must fetch images from a LAN, tunnel, or public origin. Do not include /v1.
OMNIROUTE_CGPT_WEB_IMAGE_TIMEOUT_MS	180000 (3 min)	open-sse/executors/chatgpt-web.ts	Max wait time for an async chatgpt-web image to land via the celsius WebSocket. Increase during upstream queue-deep windows.
OMNIROUTE_CGPT_WEB_IMAGE_CACHE_MAX_MB	256	open-sse/services/chatgptImageCache.ts	Total in-memory byte budget (MB) for the chatgpt-web image cache serving /v1/chatgpt-web/image/<id>. Lower on memory-constrained hosts; raise if image generation is heavy and clients race the 30-minute TTL.
THEOLDLLM_NAV_TIMEOUT_MS	30000 (30s)	open-sse/executors/theoldllm.ts	Playwright navigation timeout (ms) for the browser-backed token capture used by the The Old LLM (theoldllm) free provider. Raise on slow networks if the relay page is slow to settle.
KIE_CALLBACK_URL	(unset)	open-sse/utils/kieTask.ts	Public callback URL for asynchronous kie.ai jobs. Highest-priority override before OMNIROUTE_KIE_CALLBACK_URL and OMNIROUTE_PUBLIC_URL.
OMNIROUTE_KIE_CALLBACK_URL	(unset)	open-sse/utils/kieTask.ts	Alternate spelling of KIE_CALLBACK_URL. Falls back when the primary variable is unset.
OMNIROUTE_PUBLIC_URL	(unset)	open-sse/utils/kieTask.ts	Public origin used to compose async callback URLs. Lowest-priority fallback for kie.ai callbacks; also used as a generic public URL for other relays.
OMNIROUTE_CROF_USAGE_URL	https://crof.ai/usage_api/	open-sse/services/usage.ts	CrofAI quota lookup endpoint used by the Usage page. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OMNIROUTE_GEMINI_CLI_USAGE_URL	https://cloudcode-pa.googleapis.com/v1internal:loadCodeAssist	open-sse/services/usage.ts	Gemini CLI quota lookup endpoint. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OMNIROUTE_OPENCODE_QUOTA_URL	https://opencode.ai/zen/go/v1/quota	open-sse/services/opencodeQuotaFetcher.ts	OpenCode (zen/go) quota lookup endpoint used by the Usage page. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OMNIROUTE_OPENCODE_GO_QUOTA_URL	https://api.z.ai/api/monitor/usage/quota/limit	open-sse/services/usage.ts	OpenCode Go quota lookup endpoint used by the Usage page. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OMNIROUTE_OPENCODE_GO_DASHBOARD_URL	https://opencode.ai/workspace	open-sse/services/usage.ts	OpenCode Go dashboard base URL used for quota scraping when a workspace ID and auth cookie are configured. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OPENCODE_GO_WORKSPACE_ID	(unset)	open-sse/services/usage.ts	OpenCode Go workspace ID used for dashboard quota scraping. Prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OMNIROUTE_OPENCODE_GO_WORKSPACE_ID	(unset)	open-sse/services/usage.ts	Alternate OpenCode Go workspace ID env var used before the shorter alias. Prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OPENCODE_GO_AUTH_COOKIE	(unset)	open-sse/services/usage.ts	OpenCode Go auth cookie used for dashboard quota scraping. Sensitive; prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OMNIROUTE_OPENCODE_GO_AUTH_COOKIE	(unset)	open-sse/services/usage.ts	Alternate OpenCode Go auth cookie env var used before the shorter alias. Sensitive; prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OMNIROUTE_OLLAMA_CLOUD_USAGE_URL	https://ollama.com/settings	open-sse/services/usage.ts	Ollama Cloud settings URL used for quota scraping. Override for relays / test fixtures.
OLLAMA_USAGE_COOKIE	(unset)	open-sse/services/usage.ts	Ollama Cloud __Secure-session cookie used for settings-page quota scraping. Sensitive; prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OLLAMA_CLOUD_USAGE_COOKIE	(unset)	open-sse/services/usage.ts	Alternate Ollama Cloud __Secure-session cookie env var. Sensitive; prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OMNIROUTE_OLLAMA_USAGE_COOKIE	(unset)	open-sse/services/usage.ts	Alternate Ollama Cloud __Secure-session cookie env var used before the shorter aliases. Sensitive; prefer the per-connection Dashboard field when multiple accounts are configured.
OMNIROUTE_CODEWHISPERER_BASE_URL	https://codewhisperer.us-east-1.amazonaws.com	open-sse/services/usage.ts	CodeWhisperer (AWS Kiro) usage limits endpoint. Override for relays / test fixtures.

Important

When deploying behind a reverse proxy (nginx, Caddy), NEXT_PUBLIC_BASE_URL must be set to your public URL (e.g., https://omniroute.example.com). Without this, OAuth callbacks will fail because the redirect_uri won't match.

---

8. Outbound Proxy

Route upstream LLM provider calls through an HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy for egress control, geo-routing, or IP masking.

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
ENABLE_SOCKS5_PROXY	true	open-sse/executors	Enable SOCKS5 proxy agent for upstream calls. Opt-out with false.
NEXT_PUBLIC_ENABLE_SOCKS5_PROXY	true	Client-side	Client-side awareness of SOCKS5 availability.
HTTP_PROXY	(unset)	Node.js standard	HTTP proxy for upstream calls.
HTTPS_PROXY	(unset)	Node.js standard	HTTPS proxy for upstream calls.
ALL_PROXY	(unset)	Node.js standard	Universal proxy (supports socks5://).
NO_PROXY	(unset)	Node.js standard	Comma-separated hostnames/IPs to bypass the proxy.
OMNIROUTE_PROXY_DISPATCHER_CONNECTIONS	32	open-sse/utils/proxyDispatcher.ts	Max concurrent sockets per cached HTTP/SOCKS proxy dispatcher. Long-lived SSE streams such as Codex /v1/responses need more than one connection when several requests share the same account-level proxy. Values above 256 are capped.
PROXY_FAIL_OPEN	false	src/sse/handlers/chatHelpers.ts	When false (default), a request whose assigned proxy fails to resolve is refused (fail-closed) rather than falling back to a direct connection — prevents real-IP leaks. Set true to restore the legacy DIRECT fallback.
ENABLE_TLS_FINGERPRINT	false	open-sse/executors	Spoof TLS fingerprint using wreq-js (mimics Chrome 124). Counters JA3/JA4 blocking.
OMNIROUTE_TURNSTILE_IGNORE_TLS_ERRORS	false	open-sse/services/claudeTurnstileSolver.ts	Allow the Claude Turnstile Playwright browser context to ignore HTTPS certificate errors.

Scenarios

Scenario	Configuration
SOCKS5 through SSH tunnel	ALL_PROXY=socks5://127.0.0.1:7890, ENABLE_SOCKS5_PROXY=true
Corporate HTTP proxy	HTTP_PROXY=http://proxy.corp.com:3128, HTTPS_PROXY=http://proxy.corp.com:3128, NO_PROXY=localhost,internal.corp.com
Anti-fingerprint	ENABLE_TLS_FINGERPRINT=true — requires wreq-js (included)
Egress-controlled / no direct access	Leave PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=false (default). Requests fail hard when the proxy is unavailable instead of leaking via direct.
Legacy / dev — allow direct fallback	PROXY_FAIL_OPEN=true. Restores pre-hardening behaviour: direct connection used when proxy resolution fails.

Note (NVIDIA validation bypass — #3226): NVIDIA's API-key validation endpoint stalls when routed through the global proxy/TLS-patched fetch (undici dispatcher → 504). src/lib/providers/validation.ts::directHttpsRequest() intentionally bypasses the proxy patch for that one validation call using safeOutboundFetch({ bypassProxyPatch: true }). This is a documented, scoped exception — it does not affect chat/usage egress. The bypass is scope-pinned by tests/unit/proxy-bypass-scope-guard-3226.test.ts.

9. CLI Tool Integration

Controls how OmniRoute discovers and launches CLI sidecars (Claude Code, Codex, etc.).

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
CLI_MODE	auto	src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts	auto = search system PATH; manual = use explicit paths only.
CLI_EXTRA_PATHS	(unset)	src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts	Additional PATH entries for CLI binary discovery (colon-separated).
CLI_CONFIG_HOME	(unset)	src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts	Override home directory for reading CLI configs (~/.claude, ~/.codex).
CLI_ALLOW_CONFIG_WRITES	false	src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts	Allow OmniRoute to write CLI config files (token refresh, session data).
CLI_CLAUDE_BIN	claude	src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts	Custom path to Claude CLI binary.
CLI_CODEX_BIN	codex	src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts	Custom path to Codex CLI binary.

1. Go to Google Cloud Console → Credentials
2. Create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (type: "Web application")
3. Add your server URL as Authorized redirect URI
4. Replace the credential values in .env.

---

12. Provider User-Agent Overrides

Override the User-Agent header sent to each upstream provider. This is dynamically resolved at runtime by the executor base class:

process.env[`${PROVIDER_ID}_USER_AGENT`]

Source: open-sse/executors/base.ts → buildHeaders()

Variable	Default Value	When to Update
CLAUDE_USER_AGENT	claude-cli/2.1.145 (external, cli)	When Anthropic releases a new CLI version
CLAUDE_DISABLE_TOOL_NAME_CLOAK	false	executors/base.ts + executors/cliproxyapi.ts	Set to 1/true to forward third-party harness tool names verbatim to Anthropic on both Anthropic-bound paths (native OAuth and CLIProxyAPI). By default the executor deterministically aliases non-Claude-Code tool names (Claude Code canonical mapping where one exists, otherwise PascalCase) and reverses them on the response via _toolNameMap, so harnesses with snake_case tools are not refused as fingerprinted third-party clients. Debugging only.
CODEX_USER_AGENT	codex-cli/0.142.0 (Windows 10.0.26200; x64)	When OpenAI updates the Codex CLI
CODEX_CLIENT_VERSION	0.131.0	Override Codex client version independently of full UA string
GITHUB_USER_AGENT	GitHubCopilotChat/0.45.1	When GitHub Copilot Chat updates
ANTIGRAVITY_USER_AGENT	antigravity/2.0.1 darwin/arm64	When Antigravity IDE updates
KIRO_USER_AGENT	AWS-SDK-JS/3.0.0 kiro-ide/1.0.0	When Kiro IDE updates
KIRO_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID	kiro-cli	Override the Kiro social device-code clientId (public id)
KIRO_VERIFY_FULL_CRC	false	Opt-in: full per-frame message CRC validation on the Kiro event stream (debug corrupted streams)
QODER_USER_AGENT	Qoder-Cli	When Qoder CLI updates
QWEN_USER_AGENT	QwenCode/0.15.9 (linux; x64)	When Qwen Code updates
CURSOR_USER_AGENT	Cursor/3.3	When Cursor updates
GEMINI_CLI_USER_AGENT	google-api-nodejs-client/10.3.0	When Google API client updates

Tip

You can add User-Agent overrides for any provider using the pattern {PROVIDER_ID}_USER_AGENT. The executor dynamically constructs the env var name.

---

13. CLI Fingerprint Compatibility

When enabled, OmniRoute reorders HTTP headers and JSON body fields to match the exact signature of official CLI tools. This reduces the risk of account flagging while preserving your proxy IP.

Source: open-sse/config/cliFingerprints.ts, open-sse/executors/base.ts

Per-Provider

Variable	Activation	Effect
CLI_COMPAT_CODEX	=1	Mimics Codex CLI request signature
CLI_COMPAT_CLAUDE	=1	Mimics Claude Code request signature
CLI_COMPAT_GITHUB	=1	Mimics GitHub Copilot request signature
CLI_COMPAT_ANTIGRAVITY	=1	Mimics Antigravity request signature
CLI_COMPAT_CURSOR	=1	Mimics Cursor request signature
CLI_COMPAT_KIMI_CODING	=1	Mimics Kimi Coding request signature
CLI_COMPAT_KILOCODE	=1	Mimics Kilo Code request signature
CLI_COMPAT_CLINE	=1	Mimics Cline request signature
CLI_COMPAT_QWEN	=1	Mimics Qwen Code request signature

Global

Variable	Activation	Effect
CLI_COMPAT_ALL	=1	Enable fingerprint compatibility for all providers at once.

Kimi Coding CLI identity overrides

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
KIMI_CLI_VERSION	1.36.0	src/lib/oauth/providers/kimi-coding.ts	Override the Kimi CLI version sent during OAuth/API calls.
KIMI_CODING_DEVICE_ID	(captured default)	src/lib/oauth/providers/kimi-coding.ts	Override the captured Kimi device ID used in client headers.

Note

This feature works alongside the User-Agent overrides (§12). The fingerprint system handles header ordering and body field ordering, while User-Agent overrides handle the specific UA string. Both can be enabled independently.

---

14. API Key Providers

API keys for providers that use direct authentication. Preferred setup: Dashboard → Providers → Add API Key.

Setting via environment variables is an alternative for Docker or headless deployments.

Recognized pattern: {PROVIDER_ID}_API_KEY

Variable	Provider
DEEPSEEK_API_KEY	DeepSeek
NVIDIA_API_KEY	NVIDIA NIM

Note

Static ${PROVIDER}_API_KEY entries for Groq, xAI, Mistral, Perplexity, Together AI, Fireworks, Cerebras, Cohere, Nebius, and Qianfan were removed in v3.8.0 because the runtime no longer reads them — those providers rely exclusively on Dashboard / data/provider-credentials.json / the encrypted DB. See the Audit: Removed / Dead Variables section at the bottom of this document for the migration path.

Tip

Keys set via the Dashboard are stored encrypted in SQLite and take precedence over environment variables.

---

15. Timeout Settings

Combo target attempts inherit the resolved upstream request timeout (FETCH_TIMEOUT_MS, or REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS when it supplies the fetch default). Set targetTimeoutMs in a combo, combo defaults, or provider override only to make combo fallback faster; values above the current upstream timeout are capped to the upstream timeout.

CLOUDFLARE_API_BASE	https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4	src/app/api/settings/proxy/cloudflare-deploy/route.ts	Override the Cloudflare REST API base used by the proxy-pool Workers relay deployer (#4640 / 9router#1360).
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDFLARE_RELAY_DEFAULT_PROJECT	omniroute-relay	src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/settings/components/proxy/CloudflareRelayModal.tsx	Default worker project name suggested in the proxy-pool "Deploy Relay" modal.
NEXT_PUBLIC_CLOUDFLARE_RELAY_ENABLED	true	src/app/(dashboard)/dashboard/settings/components/proxy/ProxyPoolTab.tsx	Set to false to hide the Cloudflare Workers relay option from the Proxy Pool tab.

ALLOW_MULTI_CONNECTIONS_PER_COMPAT_NODE	false	src/app/api/providers/route.ts	Allow multiple simultaneous connections per OpenAI-compatible provider.
ENABLE_CC_COMPATIBLE_PROVIDER	false	src/shared/utils/featureFlags.ts	Reveal the experimental CC-compatible provider UI for Claude Code-only relays.

21. Proxy Health

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
PROXY_FAST_FAIL_TIMEOUT_MS	2000	src/lib/proxyHealth.ts	Fast-fail health check timeout.
PROXY_HEALTH_CACHE_TTL_MS	30000	src/lib/proxyHealth.ts	Health check result cache TTL.
OMNIROUTE_CONTROL_PLANE_PROXY_DIRECT_FALLBACK	false	src/shared/constants/featureFlagDefinitions.ts	Allow OAuth and provider validation flows to bypass a pinned proxy and connect directly when proxy reachability pre-checks fail. Effective precedence is Feature Flags DB override > env var > default.
RATE_LIMIT_MAX_WAIT_MS	120000 (2 min)	open-sse/services/rateLimitManager.ts	Max time to wait on a 429 before failing the request.
RATE_LIMIT_AUTO_ENABLE	(unset)	open-sse/services/rateLimitManager.ts	Force the auto-enable rate limit safety net on/off regardless of the persisted Dashboard setting. Accepts true/1/on to force on, false/0/off to force off.
PROVIDER_COOLDOWN_ENABLED	(unset → off)	open-sse/services/providerCooldownTracker.ts	Opt-in global cross-request provider/connection cooldown tracking. OFF by default (overlaps Connection Cooldown / Provider Circuit Breaker). Accepts true/1/on to enable.
PROVIDER_COOLDOWN_MIN_MS	5000	open-sse/services/providerCooldownTracker.ts	Minimum cooldown (ms) before a failed provider/connection is retried. Scaled exponentially with consecutive failures. Only used when PROVIDER_COOLDOWN_ENABLED.
PROVIDER_COOLDOWN_MAX_MS	300000 (5 min)	open-sse/services/providerCooldownTracker.ts	Maximum cooldown (ms) cap before a failed provider/connection is retried regardless. Only used when PROVIDER_COOLDOWN_ENABLED.
STREAM_RECOVERY_ENABLED	(unset → off)	src/lib/resilience/settings.ts (seed) → open-sse/services/streamRecovery.ts (logic)	What: transparent recovery of truncated upstream streams (free-claude-code port). Holds the opening SSE window up to STREAM_RECOVERY.HOLDBACK_MS (750 ms) so a pre-commit cutoff — one that happens before any byte reaches the client — is re-opened and retried invisibly. When to enable: flaky/upstreams that frequently 0-byte-truncate at stream start; leave OFF if you cannot afford up to 750 ms of added time-to-first-token on every stream. Accepts true/1/on. Seeds the persisted Resilience setting; the Dashboard setting wins once set.
STREAM_RECOVERY_MIDSTREAM_ENABLED	(unset → off)	src/lib/resilience/settings.ts (seed) → open-sse/services/streamRecovery.ts (logic)	What: mid-stream continuation (Fase 4.4) — after a post-commit truncation (bytes already reached the client), re-request with the partial text as an assistant prefill and stitch the missing suffix. Plain-text OpenAI-compatible streams only; never fires with a tool call in flight. When to enable: long generations that get cut mid-answer and you accept the recovered tail arriving as one burst rather than token-by-token. Independent of STREAM_RECOVERY_ENABLED (different risk profile). Accepts true/1/on.
HEALTHCHECK_STAGGER_MS	3000	src/lib/tokenHealthCheck.ts	Stagger interval (ms) between provider token healthchecks at startup.
REQUEST_RETRY	2	src/sse/services/cooldownAwareRetry.ts	Number of automatic retries on model-scoped cooldown responses before returning error to client.
MAX_RETRY_INTERVAL_SEC	30	src/sse/services/cooldownAwareRetry.ts	Max backoff interval (seconds) between cooldown retries. Capped by this value regardless of upstream Retry-After.

Stream-recovery tuning constants (not env vars)

The two STREAM_RECOVERY_* flags above are the only operator-facing toggles. The recovery behavior is otherwise tuned by hardcoded constants in open-sse/config/constants.ts (STREAM_RECOVERY), shown here for reference — changing them requires a code edit, not an env var:

• STREAM_RECOVERY.HOLDBACK_MS = 750 — how long the opening SSE window is held so an early truncation can be retried before any byte is committed to the client.
• STREAM_RECOVERY.BUFFER_MAX_BYTES = 65536 — hard cap on the held window; commit (flush + passthrough) as soon as this many bytes accumulate, regardless of the timer.
• STREAM_RECOVERY.EARLY_RETRY_MAX = 4 — max transparent re-opens of the upstream stream while the holdback is still uncommitted.

Per-provider sliding-window rate limit (no env var): the FCC-ported per-provider sliding-window rate-limit fallback exists in code (open-sse/services/providerDefaultRateLimit.ts, wired through open-sse/services/rateLimitManager.ts) but ships with an empty default map and has no operator env var today — it is enabled only via a test hook / code edit. It is intentionally not listed in the table above. The per-(token, IP) relay limiter that does have a knob is RELAY_IP_PER_MINUTE (§3 Network & Ports).

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
SKILLS_SANDBOX_TIMEOUT_MS	10000 (10 s)	src/lib/skills/builtins.ts	Per-execution wall-clock timeout for sandboxed skill code. Hard cap; anything longer is killed.
SKILLS_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT_MS	(falls back to SKILLS_SANDBOX_TIMEOUT_MS)	src/lib/skills/	High-level skill orchestration timeout. Set higher than SKILLS_SANDBOX_TIMEOUT_MS to allow multi-step workflows.
SKILLS_MAX_FILE_BYTES	1048576 (1 MB)	src/lib/skills/builtins.ts	Max bytes a skill may read from any single sandboxed file.
SKILLS_MAX_HTTP_RESPONSE_BYTES	256000 (250 KB)	src/lib/skills/builtins.ts	Max bytes captured from any single HTTP response inside a skill.
SKILLS_MAX_SANDBOX_OUTPUT_CHARS	100000	src/lib/skills/builtins.ts	Hard cap on stdout/stderr characters returned from a sandbox invocation.
SKILLS_SANDBOX_NETWORK_ENABLED	false	src/lib/skills/builtins.ts	Set 1/true to allow outbound network from inside the sandbox. Defaults to isolated for safety.
SKILLS_ALLOWED_SANDBOX_IMAGES	(empty)	src/lib/skills/builtins.ts	Comma-separated allowlist of container images permitted for sandbox execution. Empty means built-in default only.
SKILLS_SANDBOX_DOCKER_IMAGE	(built-in default)	src/lib/skills/	Container image used when spawning a Docker-backed sandbox. Override to pin a custom hardened base image.

Caution

Enabling SKILLS_SANDBOX_NETWORK_ENABLED=true opens an egress path from arbitrary skill code. Pair with OUTBOUND_SSRF_GUARD_ENABLED=true and a strict CORS_ORIGIN/proxy policy in shared deployments.

BIFROST_ENABLED	1	src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts	Master kill switch for the bifrost sidecar proxy. When set to 0, the route returns 503 with the X-Bifrost-Killswitch header and the operator is bounced to the TS path. Use to disable the sidecar without redeploying (tier-1 router incident, key rotation).
BIFROST_BASE_URL	(unset)	src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts	When set, the Bifrost sidecar proxy route forwards /v1/chat/completions traffic to this Go gateway instead of the TS relay handler. Unset → 503-with-fallback. Trailing slash is stripped.
BIFROST_API_KEY	(unset)	src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts	API key for the Bifrost gateway (sent as Authorization: Bearer ...). If unset, the route expects the request to carry a valid OmniRoute API key; this key is for gateway-side auth only.

BIFROST_TIMEOUT_MS	30000	src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts	Per-request timeout when proxying to the Bifrost gateway (ms). On timeout the route returns the TS relay path via the X-Bifrost-Fallback header.
OMNIROUTE_BIFROST_KEY	(unset)	src/app/api/v1/relay/chat/completions/bifrost/route.ts	Alias for BIFROST_API_KEY (used by scripts that read the env via OMNIROUTE_*). Falls back to BIFROST_API_KEY when unset.
OMNIROUTE_LOCAL_ENDPOINTS_ENABLED	0	src/lib/security/localEndpoints.ts	Master switch for /api/local/* routes. When unset or 0, all /api/local/* routes return 503 in production. Must be 1 in non-loopback deploys to enable the Redis launcher and similar 1-click local service starters. Belt-and-suspenders with isLocalOnlyPath() route-guard classification (LOCAL_ONLY_API_PREFIXES in src/server/authz/routeGuard.ts).
OMNIROUTE_LOCAL_ENDPOINTS_TOKEN	(unset)	src/lib/security/localEndpoints.ts	Bearer token for /api/local/* callers that aren't on loopback (e.g. the desktop app). When set, requests from non-loopback IPs must carry Authorization: Bearer <token>. Required when OMNIROUTE_LOCAL_ENDPOINTS_ENABLED=1 in non-loopback deployments.

OMNIROUTE_REDIS_HOST_PORT	6379	bin/cli/commands/redis.mjs	Host port for the 1-click Redis launcher. Bump if the host already binds 6379. The container's internal port stays 6379.
OMNIROUTE_REDIS_IMAGE	redis:7-alpine	bin/cli/commands/redis.mjs	Redis image used by the 1-click Redis launcher. Override to redis:8-alpine or a private registry mirror as needed.
QDRANT_HOST	qdrant	(opt-in cluster profile)	Hostname of the Qdrant sidecar when --profile memory is active. Default points to the in-network qdrant service name; override for an external deployment. Only consumed when qdrantEnabled is true in code (src/lib/memory/vectorStore.ts:108).
QDRANT_PORT	6333	(opt-in cluster profile)	REST port of the Qdrant sidecar.
QDRANT_GRPC_PORT	6334	(opt-in cluster profile)	gRPC port of the Qdrant sidecar. Used by client libraries that prefer gRPC over REST for streaming ops.
QDRANT_API_KEY	(unset)	(opt-in cluster profile)	Optional API key for Qdrant Cloud or an authenticated on-prem instance. Empty → no api-key header sent.
QDRANT_COLLECTION	omniroute-memory	(opt-in cluster profile)	Collection name for OmniRoute's conversation memory embeddings. Created on first run with QDRANT_VECTOR_SIZE dimensions.
QDRANT_EMBEDDING_MODEL	text-embedding-3-small	(opt-in cluster profile)	Default embedding model name recorded in the Qdrant collection metadata. Actual embeddings are generated by whatever provider the embeddingModel field in OmniRoute's settings points to.
QDRANT_VECTOR_SIZE	1536	(opt-in cluster profile)	Embedding vector dimension. Must match the model you embed with (text-embedding-3-small → 1536; ada-002 → 1536; nomic-embed-text → 768).
QDRANT_HNSW_EF_CONSTRUCT	128	(opt-in cluster profile)	HNSW index construction-time accuracy. Higher = slower build, faster search.

26. Test & E2E Harness

Used by scripts/dev/run-next-playwright.mjs, scripts/dev/smoke-electron-packaged.mjs, scripts/dev/run-ecosystem-tests.mjs, and scripts/build/uninstall.mjs. Leave every value below unset in production deployments.

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
OMNIROUTE_E2E_BOOTSTRAP_MODE	auth	scripts/dev/run-next-playwright.mjs	E2E bootstrap mode (auth, fresh, reuse) for the Playwright runner.

ECOSYSTEM_SERVER_WAIT_MS	180000	scripts/dev/run-ecosystem-tests.mjs	Wait time (ms) for the server to become healthy before running ecosystem/protocol tests.
ELECTRON_SMOKE_URL	http://127.0.0.1:20128/login	scripts/dev/smoke-electron-packaged.mjs	URL the Electron smoke harness expects the packaged app to serve.
ELECTRON_SMOKE_TIMEOUT_MS	45000	scripts/dev/smoke-electron-packaged.mjs	Total timeout (ms) before the smoke harness gives up.
ELECTRON_SMOKE_SETTLE_MS	2000	scripts/dev/smoke-electron-packaged.mjs	Settle window (ms) after the page loads.
ELECTRON_SMOKE_APP_EXECUTABLE	(auto)	scripts/dev/smoke-electron-packaged.mjs	Explicit path to the packaged Electron executable.
ELECTRON_SMOKE_DATA_DIR	(tmpdir)	scripts/dev/smoke-electron-packaged.mjs	Data directory for the Electron smoke run.
ELECTRON_SMOKE_KEEP_DATA	0	scripts/dev/smoke-electron-packaged.mjs	Set 1 to preserve the smoke data directory after the run.
ELECTRON_SMOKE_STREAM_LOGS	0	scripts/dev/smoke-electron-packaged.mjs	Set 1 to stream Electron logs to stdout during the run.
CLI_DEVIN_BIN	(PATH lookup)	open-sse/executors/devin-cli.ts	Override the Devin CLI binary path.

Docs translation pipeline

Used by scripts/i18n/run-translation.mjs (the npm run i18n:run command). All five variables are unset by default — set them in .env only on machines that should be able to run the docs translator.

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
OMNIROUTE_TRANSLATION_API_URL	(unset)	scripts/i18n/run-translation.mjs	OpenAI-compatible base URL for the translation backend.
OMNIROUTE_TRANSLATION_API_KEY	(unset)	scripts/i18n/run-translation.mjs	Bearer token for the translation backend (never logged).
OMNIROUTE_TRANSLATION_MODEL	(unset)	scripts/i18n/run-translation.mjs	Model id, e.g. gpt-4o-mini or cx/gpt-5.4-mini.
OMNIROUTE_TRANSLATION_TIMEOUT_MS	60000	scripts/i18n/run-translation.mjs	Per-request timeout in milliseconds.
OMNIROUTE_TRANSLATION_CONCURRENCY	4	scripts/i18n/run-translation.mjs	Parallel translation requests when running over multiple files / locales.

Audit: Removed / Dead Variables

The following variables appeared in previous versions of .env.example but have no runtime references in the current codebase. They have been removed:

Variable	Reason
STORAGE_DRIVER=sqlite	Never read by any source file. SQLite is the only supported driver — no selection needed.
INSTANCE_NAME=omniroute	Present in old docs/env templates but unused at runtime. May return in a future multi-instance feature.
SQLITE_MAX_SIZE_MB=2048	Not referenced in source code. Database size is not artificially limited.
SQLITE_CLEAN_LEGACY_FILES=true	Not referenced in source code. Legacy cleanup was likely removed.
CLI_ROO_BIN	Not registered in src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts.
CLI_KIMI_CODING_BIN	Not registered in src/shared/services/cliRuntime.ts (Kimi Coding uses OAuth, not a CLI binary).
IFLOW_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID / IFLOW_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET	Not referenced anywhere in source code.
CEREBRAS_API_KEY / COHERE_API_KEY / FIREWORKS_API_KEY / GROQ_API_KEY / MISTRAL_API_KEY / NEBIUS_API_KEY / PERPLEXITY_API_KEY / TOGETHER_API_KEY / XAI_API_KEY	Removed in v3.8.0. The runtime no longer reads these env vars — credentials come from Dashboard / data/provider-credentials.json / encrypted DB.
CURSOR_PROTOBUF_DEBUG	Removed in v3.8.0. Cursor executor uses CURSOR_DEBUG / CURSOR_STREAM_DEBUG (see §22).
CLI_COMPAT_KIRO	Removed in v3.8.0. Kiro is in CLI_COMPAT_OMITTED_PROVIDER_IDS — its toggle has no effect.
QIANFAN_API_KEY	Removed alongside other unused provider API key stubs in v3.8.0.

Default Value Corrections

Variable	Old .env.example Value	Actual Code Default	Fixed
APP_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS	90	7	✅ Removed misleading value; documented 7 as default
CALL_LOG_RETENTION_DAYS	90	7	✅ Removed misleading value; documented 7 as default

OpenCode config regeneration (ad-hoc tooling)

Used by scripts/ad-hoc/regen-opencode-config.ts to regenerate an opencode.json with accurate limit.context and limit.output values pulled from the running OmniRoute instance. None of these are required for normal operation — the script is developer tooling only.

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
OMNIROUTE_URL	http://localhost:20128	scripts/ad-hoc/regen-opencode-config.ts	Base URL of the OmniRoute instance to query for /v1/models.
OMNIROUTE_KEY	(unset)	scripts/ad-hoc/regen-opencode-config.ts	API key to authenticate against the OmniRoute /v1/models endpoint. Falls back to OPENCODE_API_KEY when unset.
OPENCODE_API_KEY	(unset)	scripts/ad-hoc/regen-opencode-config.ts	OpenCode-style API key (sk-...) written into the regenerated opencode.json. Falls back to OMNIROUTE_KEY when unset.

Compression offline-eval harness (ad-hoc tooling)

Used by scripts/compression-eval/index.ts, the offline compression evaluation CLI. Not required for normal operation — developer tooling only.

Variable	Default	Source File	Description
OMNIROUTE_EVAL_CREDENTIALS	{} (empty)	scripts/compression-eval/index.ts	Operator-supplied JSON credentials for the provider exercised by the offline compression-eval CLI (parsed with JSON.parse). Leave unset for a dry run.
