🔧 Major Changes

🗂️ Configuration Management Improved

• Introduced a central .sbd_config configuration file using [DEFAULT] section format for better maintainability and secret management.

• Environment variables now read via config file mounted into the container:

  [DEFAULT]
  mongo_url = mongodb://mongo:27017
  mongo_db_name = your_application_db_name
  ...

🐳 Docker & Dev Environment Overhaul

• docker-compose.yml and dev.yml simplified by removing inline environment variables and volumes for config:

  • Mounted .sbd_config directly to container at /root/.config/Second-Brain-Database/.sbd_config:ro.

• Created a structured dev environment:

  • dev-environment/docker-compose.yml
  • dev-environment/setup.sh – pulls dev image and brings up services.
  • dev-environment/remove-containers.sh – removes all running containers safely.

⚙️ Config Refactor

• Removed hardcoded MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER default value from config.py to shift towards externalized config approach.
• Removed unused debug environment variable from main runtime (main.py).

---

🧹 Cleanups & Minor Changes

• 🔥 Removed sbd from requirements.txt as it’s unnecessary in local/dev environments.
• 📦 Bumped version number in pyproject.toml from 0.0.2 → 0.0.3.

---

📁 Directory Restructuring

• Moved and modularized docker-compose and scripts under dev-environment/ to improve clarity and support CI/CD adoption later.

---

🧪 Notable Impact

• Better Secrets Management: Sensitive keys and tokens no longer exposed in docker-compose or source.
• Environment Portability: Easier to onboard contributors and set up dev/test containers using consistent tooling.
• Modular Config Support: Prepares the system for .env or full config service (Vault, Doppler, etc.) in future versions.
