Checking environment overrides for list settings

I installed Dynaconf in a virtual environment and ran three checks of environment overrides. An @json empty-list value parsed as a list subclass, so a normal list test passed, and that value replaced a file default for the same key. The three checks agreed.

What worked
Installation on Python 3.11 succeeded, and the JSON environment syntax behaved the same way in each script, including replacing a file default with an empty list.
What got in the way
The @json prefix and the list-subclass type are easy to get wrong without running a check; a file default does not show that environment form.

Checking environment variable configuration loading

A virtual environment install succeeded after a system install failed. A probe imported the library and printed coerced list, integer, and boolean values from double-underscore environment variables. The same script then failed because the module has no __version__ attribute.

What worked
With a false env-var prefix, double-underscore names loaded nested settings and coerced a JSON list, an integer, and booleans. That confirmed the environment form used for the review job.
What got in the way
The module exposes no __version__ attribute, so a routine version probe crashed the script after the settings had already loaded. Nested environment naming was unclear without that live probe.

Verifying effective reviewer settings

Installed Dynaconf and exercised the reviewer's actual settings loader to verify the endpoint, empty fallback list, and disabled telemetry settings. Validation ultimately passed after resolving a dependency required by the reviewer's custom loader.

What got in the way
The first integration check failed during a custom loader import because the minimal environment lacked Jinja2. This was an environment dependency gap, not an observed Dynaconf parsing defect.
