Ensure configuration parameters have appropriate default values and avoid hardcoded or overly specific settings. Default values should be conservative and safe for production environments, while avoiding personal assignments or environment-specific assumptions. Examples of good practices: - Use conservative defaults: `WORKFLOW_LOG_CLEANUP_ENABLED: ${WORKFLOW_LOG_CLEANUP_ENABLED:-false}` instead of `true` - Provide sensible defaults for optional parameters like expiration times - Remove inappropriate hardcoded assignments like single-user `assignees` in configuration files - Avoid mixing deployment concerns by keeping third-party service configurations separate from main application config This ensures configurations are maintainable, secure by default, and appropriate for team environments rather than individual setups.
