### ftl_project_expert/cli.py:_load_env_file
VERDICT: CONCERN
CORRECTNESS: QUESTIONABLE
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: UNTESTED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: The parser is mostly correct and handles the common cases (comments, blank lines, `export` prefix, matched quote stripping, existing-env-wins). Two issues:

1. **Silent failure on explicit path** (line 187 `except OSError: pass`): Silently swallowing errors makes sense for the default `.env` (which often doesn't exist), but if a user explicitly passes `--env-file production.env` and that file is missing or unreadable, they get no feedback — the CLI runs with missing vars and fails later with a confusing error. Consider raising/warning when the user explicitly provides a non-default path.

2. **Inline comments not stripped**: A line like `API_KEY=secret # production key` sets the value to `secret # production key`. Most `.env` parsers strip inline comments (at least for unquoted values). This is a minor footgun but worth noting.

### ftl_project_expert/cli.py:cli
VERDICT: PASS
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: UNTESTED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: The `--env-file` option is correctly wired into the Click group with a sensible default. The `env_file` parameter is passed through to `_load_env_file` and the call happens before `ctx.ensure_object(dict)`, which means env vars are available before any subcommand runs. Integration is clean — no callers need updating since Click handles the new parameter automatically. The parameter name `env_file` matches Click's automatic `--env-file` to `env_file` conversion.

---

### Overall
VERDICT: CONCERN
REASONING: The feature works end-to-end and the integration is clean. The two concerns are: (1) no tests — zero test coverage for the entire CLI module, and this change adds a non-trivial parser that has edge cases worth exercising (quote stripping, export prefix, existing-var precedence, missing file); (2) the silent `OSError` catch doesn't distinguish between "default `.env` not found" (expected) and "user-specified file not found" (likely a mistake). Neither is a blocker, but the silent-failure-on-explicit-path issue could cause real user confusion.

---

### SELF_REVIEW
LIMITATIONS: Could not verify whether any integration tests or end-to-end tests exist outside the `test_count: 0` observation. Could not see how `.env` files are used in practice by this project's users (e.g., what keys are typically set), which would help assess whether the inline-comment concern is realistic.

---

### FEATURE_REQUESTS
- Show the full test suite structure (test directories, test file names) even when no tests directly cover the changed file — helps assess whether tests should be added vs. the project simply doesn't have tests yet
- When the diff touches CLI argument parsing, show the CLI's help output or entry point configuration to verify the option is reachable
