name	integration-environment-configuration
description	Validate frontend-backend environment wiring without hardcoded service endpoints. Use for local, dev, and prod config mapping, runtime key alignment, and configuration gap analysis.
argument-hint	Describe the target environments, required configuration keys, runtime wiring problem, and any suspected naming or source-of-truth gaps.

Integration Environment Configuration

When to Use

• Frontend-backend URL wiring changes
• New deployment environment setup
• Runtime failures likely caused by misconfiguration

Quick Checklist

1. Enumerate required configuration keys per component.
2. Verify source of truth per environment.
3. Confirm no hardcoded service URLs in runtime code.
4. Validate startup/runtime behavior with effective config.

Deep Workflow

1. Build a configuration matrix by environment for frontend and backend.
2. Map each key to source of truth (local .env, app settings, secrets, environment variables).
3. Verify configuration naming consistency across components and deployment assets.
4. Check frontend API base URL resolution and backend binding expectations.
5. Validate failure behavior for missing/invalid configuration.
6. Provide minimal remediation steps for any gap found.

Decision Points

• If production value source is unclear, treat as a deployment blocker.
• If config exists but naming diverges across stacks, align names before release.
• If local and deployed behavior differ, document environment-specific expectations explicitly.
