If the doctor command reports that a rejected key came from the environment,
remove or replace that environment variable before testing saved config again.

Both `doctor` and `doctor --json` also include a session-recovery diagnostic
that compares legacy session filenames against the current store and reports
one of `isolated`, `no_legacy_sessions`, `migration_pending`,
`migration_incomplete`, `migration_complete`, or `scan_failed`; it never reads
session contents. Use `migration_pending` or `migration_incomplete` as your
cue to finish moving sessions from `~/.deepseek` to `~/.codewhale`, the same
legacy-path migration described above. Setting an explicit `CODEWHALE_HOME`
suppresses this ambient inspection.

Next: [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) covers platform-specific install paths,
[CONFIGURATION.md](CONFIGURATION.md) covers config resolution, and
[PROVIDERS.md](PROVIDERS.md) covers provider IDs and credentials.
