Default User Settings

This document lists all environment variables used as defaults for new users.

Scope and behavior:

• These values are applied only when a user's settings are created for the first time.
• After that, values stored in the database are used and take precedence.
• This document only covers settings that have an environment-backed default.
• It is not intended to be a full inventory of every setting shown in the UI.
• UI-only settings without a DEFAULT_* variable, for example the dashboard section order toggle, are intentionally excluded.
