Research direction
The issue requests modifying the config file loading to support environment variables. The main file to examine is likely the config class in the package (e.g., src/Settings.php or similar). The change is straightforward: instead of reading values directly from the config array, check for an environment variable with a matching key. Since the issue is old, it would be good to confirm with maintainers if this feature is still desired and what the preferred approach is (e.g., using Laravel's env() helper). No linked PRs or assignees, so it is available for a newcomer.
