📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds LOGCHIMP_DB_URL to the Database section of the environment variables documentation. The new variable is listed before individual DB parameters and notes that a provided URL overrides the individual host, database, port, user, and password settings.

Changes

Cohort / File(s)	Change Summary

Adjusted ordering and aligned password default description format. Mail section unchanged.

46-46: DB URL documentation is well-implemented.

The LOGCHIMP_DB_URL entry clearly specifies precedence over individual parameters and includes a helpful format example. This aligns with the previous reviewer's feedback.
