🔒 chore: bump python-dotenv to 1.2.2 to patch Dependabot alert - #286

Conversation
Patches the symlink-following vulnerability in set_key() that allows arbitrary file overwrite via cross-device rename fallback (Dependabot alert #103). python-dotenv set_key is not used by this project at runtime, so the exposure is limited to any tooling that imports python-dotenv's writer against user-controlled paths; bumping anyway to keep the supply chain clean.

Summary
Patches Dependabot alert #103: python-dotenv: Symlink following in set_key allows arbitrary file overwrite via cross-device rename fallback. Affects versions
<1.2.2; fixed in1.2.2.Bumps
python-dotenvfrom1.1.1to1.2.2in bothrequirements.txtandrequirements.lite.txt(alert was filed against the lite file, but the main file has the same pin).Exposure note
python-dotenv.set_key()is not used by this project at runtime — we only callload_dotenv()/find_dotenv(), which are read-only. The vulnerable code path is only reachable if a consumer callsset_keyagainst a user-controlled path. Bumping anyway to keep the supply chain clean and close the alert.Test plan
build-and-test) should pass.
