Hi, I’m experiencing an issue with environment variables in my Railway deployment. Although I’ve set all necessary variables in the Variables tab (e.g., OPENAIAPIKEY), they don’t seem to be accessible in the runtime environment.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

Verified that the variable OPENAIAPIKEY is correctly added in the Variables tab with the right value.
Logged all environment variables using os.environ.keys() in Python, but the OPENAIAPIKEY is missing.
Redeployed the service and cleared the build cache to ensure no caching issues.
Verified that my .env file is ignored in the repository using .gitignore.
The application works perfectly in my local environment when using dotenv and a .env file.
Logs: In the logs, I see this error:
ValueError: OPENAIAPIKEY not found in environment variables

Could this be an issue with how Railway handles environment variables in the runtime environment, or am I missing something in the setup?

Thank you for your help!
