Environment variables set via the API or SDK are picked up on the next HTTP request against a warm isolate without a redeploy. UI/settings-page updates may still require a redeploy. Tested live on Val Town, 2026-08-17. Co-Authored-By: Steve Krouse <steveykrouse@gmail.com>

Summary
Updates the environment variables reference page to match the observed behavior for API/SDK updates: they are picked up on the next HTTP request against a warm isolate without needing a redeploy.
Live test: a val reading
Deno.env.get("TEST_ENV_PICKUP")returned unset on the first request, then returned the newly set value on the very next request after the variable was created via the API/SDK.Link to Devin session: https://app.devin.ai/sessions/783c5efafc3a45f386dcec6235be53ca
