Symptom

Field required: DATABASE_URL

Root cause

Settings model requires DATABASE_URL, but the test harness only sets APP_ENV and does not load a .env file or export DATABASE_URL before instantiating the Pydantic settings object.

Minimal fix

Bootstrap test environment variables before Settings() is constructed: export DATABASE_URL in the pytest setup, e.g. via tests/conftest.py monkeypatch/setenv or CI env, or provide a .env.example/default test value that the settings loader can read.
