Summary
The
.envexample inDEVELOPMENT.mdonly showedOPENAI_API_KEY,leaving users on non-OpenAI providers (Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama) without
guidance on setting
KAGENT_DEFAULT_MODEL_PROVIDER.Without this variable,
make helm-installsilently defaults toopenAIand fails with a confusing error even when a valid Anthropic or Gemini key is set.
