## Description

t3-env is a type-safe environment manager and schema validator for TypeScript. It maps environment variables to static types to provide autocompletion and prevents configuration errors through a system that verifies required variables are present and correctly formatted before an application starts.

The project enforces strict variable scope to isolate server-side secrets from the client browser, preventing sensitive data from leaking into client-side bundles. It also provides configuration presets tailored to the naming conventions of specific hosting and deployment platforms.

The library integrates with schema validation libraries to ensure runtime integrity and uses a type-safe proxy interface to wrap environment objects. These mechanisms combine compile-time error detection with runtime validation to prevent deployment failures.
