🐛 Bug Report

Description

.env.example is missing the API key and secret environment variables that users need to configure HumaneProxy. These are secrets that cannot go in humane_proxy.yaml and should be in .env.example as the standard place for sensitive configuration.

Missing Variables

Variable Purpose
GROQ_API_KEY Groq API key for LlamaGuard Stage 3
OPENAI_API_KEY OpenAI API key for Stage 3 reasoning
HUMANE_PROXY_ADMIN_KEY Bearer token securing the /admin API

All three are documented in the README and LAUNCHGUIDE but absent
from .env.example, meaning users copying .env.example to .env
will silently miss them.

Fix

Add the three missing secret variables to .env.example with explanatory comments.

Raising as part of GSSoC 2026 contribution. Will submit a PR.
