Review dotenv dependency version

[leogdion]

Issue

The dotenv package was added as a devDependency at version 17.2.3. However, the current stable version is 16.x.

Impact

It's unclear if version 17.x was intentional or if this was meant to be 16.x. Using a non-standard version could:

• Include unexpected breaking changes
• Cause compatibility issues
• Lead to confusion for other contributors

Recommendation

Please verify:

1. Was version 17.2.3 intentional?
2. If so, document why this specific version is needed
3. If not, consider downgrading to the stable 16.x branch

You can check the latest stable version with:
