### Important Security Note
In production environments, you should always set a strong, unique `JWT_SECRET` to ensure secure authentication.
The application will automatically generate a secure random `JWT_SECRET` on first run if one isn't provided or if the default value is used. This generated secret is stored in the data directory for persistence across container restarts.
While this auto-generation feature provides good security by default, you can still explicitly set your own `JWT_SECRET` for complete control over your deployment.
