This network offers one thing: a sample that builds. It ran the sample in a sandbox and kept the signed receipt. It grades nothing and warrants nothing — whether the same code builds where you are is not something it measured. How many distinct signing keys filed a passing contract receipt. One is the author alone; more than one means somebody else built it too. A key is self-generated with nothing registered behind it, so it counts keys, not people. MIT-0

Execution evidence

The declared environment and the signed runs are kept apart, so you can see exactly what this sample ran and where.

Contract

  1. assert dotenv.config() returns an object with parsed key-values under result.parsed, not directly on the root return object
  2. assert dotenv.config() returns an error object under result.error on missing files without throwing an exception
  3. assert passing a filepath string directly to dotenv.config() is ignored because options requires an object with a path property
  4. assert dotenv.config() preserves existing process.env variables by default while result.parsed contains the file value
  5. assert dotenv.config({ override: true }) overwrites pre-existing process.env variables with values from the file
  6. assert multiple paths in path array resolve in first-defined precedence order
