Configures environment variables for Power Pages site settings to support ALM across environments. Creates environment variable definitions in Dataverse, guides the user through linking site settings to those variables via the Power Pages Management app, adds the variables to the solution, and generates a deployment-settings.json file with per-stage override values. Use when asked to: "configure environment variables", "add env vars", "set up deployment variables", "make site settings environment-specific", "configure ALM variables", "set up env-specific settings", "add deployment settings", "configure per-environment settings".

# configure-env-variables

Creates and links Dataverse environment variables to Power Pages site settings, enabling different configuration values per deployment environment (dev vs staging vs prod). Generates `deployment-settings.json` for use by `deploy-pipeline`.

## Background

Power Pages site settings can be backed by environment variables (GA March 2025, enhanced data model only). When linked:
- The site setting's `mspp_source` changes from `0` (static) to `1` (environment variable)
- The runtime reads the env var value for the current environment instead of the static `mspp_value`
- During pipeline deployment, target-environment values are injected via `deploymentsettingsjson`

**API note**: The site setting → env var link is set via a HAR-confirmed OData PATCH pattern (v9.0, `EnvironmentValue` nav property, `if-match: *` and `clienthost: Browser` headers required). This is handled by `scripts/lib/link-site-setting-to-env-var.js`. All steps are fully automated.
