/**
* Copies missing env files from their .example templates, and warns about
* any keys present in the example but not set in the environment.
* Also warns about any VITE_ vars set in the environment that aren't listed
* in any example file.
* Ensures `.env.local` (and mode-specific `.env.desktop.local` / `.env.saas.local`)
* files exist so developers have a place to put overrides (API keys, machine-specific
* settings) without touching the committed `.env` / `.env.desktop` / `.env.saas` files.
*
* Vite automatically layers these `.local` files on top of the committed ones.
*
* Usage:
* tsx scripts/setup-env.ts # checks .env
* tsx scripts/setup-env.ts --desktop # also checks .env.desktop
* tsx scripts/setup-env.ts --saas # also checks .env.saas
* tsx scripts/setup-env.ts # ensures .env.local
* tsx scripts/setup-env.ts --desktop # also ensures .env.desktop.local
* tsx scripts/setup-env.ts --saas # also ensures .env.saas.local
