Dotvault for FastAPI

Dotvault for FastAPI services.

FastAPI projects usually read configuration through pydantic-settings, which loads .env and validates it into a typed settings object. The validation is the good part. The bad part is that the file it reads is still a plain text list you edit by hand. Dotvault makes that half visual, with history and diffs.
