## Problem The Celery worker service crashed on startup because `config/settings.py` required all API keys (GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY, GROQ_API_KEY, ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, COHERE_API_KEY, etc.) to be defined without defaults. This is problematic because: 1. The worker loads Django settings but doesn't use all API keys 2. Different services may need different API keys 3. Missing optional keys should not crash the app ## Solution Changed all optional API keys and service-specific variables to use `default=""` (empty string) instead of requiring them: - GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY - GROQ_API_KEY - ANTHROPIC_API_KEY - COHERE_API_KEY - All Stripe configuration - Email configuration - Google OAuth This allows both the web service and worker to start regardless of which keys are configured, while still supporting these features when the keys are provided. ## Changes - Updated `backend/config/settings.py` to add `default=""` to all optional API keys and service-specific variables - Kept `SECRET_KEY` required (as it should be) - Kept `DATABASE_URL` required (as it should be) - Made Supabase storage keys optional (only required when USE_SUPABASE_STORAGE is True)
