Configures environment variables, secrets, and env groups on Render. Use when the user needs to set env vars, wire secrets between services, create env groups, use generateValue, set sync: false, or troubleshoot missing or incorrect environment variable values in Blueprints or the Dashboard.

## From README

Environment Variables on Render Before inspecting or changing environment variables, secrets, secret files, or environment groups, read references/environment-variables.md for the current documentation, source-of-truth, safety, and mutation workflow. Blueprint wiring examples and language-specific application notes live under references/.

For first-time deploys, render-deploy. For web service behavior and ports, render-web-services.
