Project: awake-transformation, service: daxos, environment: production.

My service variables are configured correctly in the dashboard, and the

startup log confirms they are present in the process:

[startup] ANTHROPIC_API_KEY present: true | length: 108

But when an HTTP request is handled, the same variable is undefined. I have

tried: service variables, shared variables, capturing the value at boot into

a module constant, storing it in globalThis, storing it in the database, and

writing a config file directly via the Railway console (the file exists when

I cat it, but the request handler cannot read it).

All five approaches fail identically. This strongly suggests the process

serving HTTP requests is not the same process that boots and writes the logs,

or that the console attaches to a different container than the one serving

traffic.

The service runs a single "node src/server.js" with 1 replica, no cluster,

no forking.

What configuration would cause this?
