Environment / auth

DATASET_PATH
Path to a normalised corpus directory or a corpus archive (legal-texts-de-*.tar.zst). Defaults to the bundled fixture; production deployments should mount /data/corpus/latest.tar.zst.
STRICT_DATASET
Set to 'true' to refuse to start if the dataset cannot be loaded (recommended for hosted deployments).
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
secret
Optional. Required only for the smart `research_topic` tool which uses LLM-assisted synthesis. Without it, the tool degrades gracefully to a ranked-search fallback.
