This is how we add environment variables to the project:

Add to .env.example:
```
NEW_VARIABLE=value_example
```

Add to apps/web/env.ts:

// For server-only variables
server: {
  NEW_VARIABLE: z.string(),
}
// For client-side variables
client: {
  NEXT_PUBLIC_NEW_VARIABLE: z.string(),
}
experimental__runtimeEnv: {
  NEXT_PUBLIC_NEW_VARIABLE: process.env.NEXT_PUBLIC_NEW_VARIABLE,
}

For client-side variables:
- Must be prefixed with NEXT_PUBLIC_
- Add to both client and experimental__runtimeEnv sections
Add to turbo.json under globalDependencies:
