Does APP_KEY really need to be required? #1

Description

@jnbn

I noticed the package currently expects APP_KEY to be present in the values returned from Infisical. In practice, APP_KEY is typically generated locally after a clean install via php artisan key:generate, and requiring it to be stored/shared in Infisical adds friction (and pushes users toward sharing a the same app key between the environments which is -imo- unnecessary).

Because of that, I don’t think APP_KEY should be treated as required by the Infisical export/merge flow. A more ergonomic default would be to ignore APP_KEY if it’s missing (or at least not fail the command), while still allowing teams to manage it in Infisical if they explicitly want to.

I’m happy to open a PR for this change if you’re open to it. If not, I can fork and maintain the adjustment on my side.
