/**
 * config-loader.ts
 *
 * Loads environment variables from a .env file and returns a typed
 * FrameworkConfig object used throughout the MCP server.
 *
 * Environment variables supported:
 *   BASE_URL  — the base URL of the application under test (default: http://localhost:3000)
 *   TESTS_DIR — relative path to the tests directory (default: "tests")
 *
 * All paths in the returned FrameworkConfig are absolute so they work
 * regardless of which directory the process was started from.
 *
 * Role in the overall flow:
 *   MCP server startup → loadConfig() → FrameworkConfig → all service instances
