Problem

Issue #112 exists but is stale with no PR. Issue #54 is a broader version also stale. Without this, the app starts but fails on first request with a confusing error.

Task

Create a validateEnv() function that checks OPENAI_API_KEY and DATABASE_URL are present and non-empty.
Call it at the top of the entry point, before server initialization.
On failure: log which var(s) are missing and exit with code 1.
Add a unit test for the validation function.

Acceptance Criteria

Missing env vars cause immediate exit with a human-readable error.
Test verifies detection of missing vars.
Function is importable for reuse in test setup.

Closing as superseded by #193 (comprehensive env var validation) and #190 (startup crash-early validation). Both cover this issue's scope.
