Create a startup validation module that checks for required env vars before the app starts listening. Required vars: RESEND_API_KEY (for contact form), NODE_ENV. For production: also validate any database URL, SMTP, or API key vars. If any are missing, log which vars are missing with console.error and call process.exit(1). Add this validation as the first thing in the app entry file, before Express app creation. Add test: start app without RESEND_API_KEY, verify exit code 1. Acceptance: app refuses to start with clear error message when critical env vars are missing; starts normally when all required vars present.
