### 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 solid for the common cases — `partition("=")` correctly handles values containing `=`, the `export` prefix strip uses the right offset (7), and matched-quote removal is correct. Two edge cases worth noting: (1) inline comments are not stripped — `KEY=value # comment` sets the value to `value # comment`, which diverges from python-dotenv and docker compose behavior and could surprise users; (2) no multiline value support, which is a reasonable simplification but should be documented in the help text or docstring. Neither is a blocker, but the inline comment case is the more likely footgun. Zero test coverage for a function with meaningful parsing logic is a concern.

### 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 `get_parameter_source` / `ParameterSource.COMMANDLINE` check is the correct Click idiom for distinguishing explicit user input from the default — this means a missing `.env` at the default path is silently ignored while a missing explicitly-specified file warns, which is good UX. The env file is loaded before `ctx.ensure_object(dict)` and before any subcommand executes, so environment variables are available to all downstream commands. Integration is complete: the option is declared, wired into the function signature, and consumed immediately.

---

### Overall
VERDICT: CONCERN
REASONING: Implementation is clean and the integration is correct. The two items worth addressing: (1) add at least basic unit tests for `_load_env_file` covering happy path, missing file (silent and not), `export` prefix, quoted values, comments, and lines without `=`; (2) decide whether to strip inline comments (`KEY=val # comment`) — if not, document that limitation. No blockers.

### SELF_REVIEW
LIMITATIONS: No test files were provided or found (test_count: 0 across the board), so I cannot verify whether tests were added in a separate file not included in the diff. Could not verify whether the commit messages (listed in git status) correspond to iterative review fixes — the three commits on the branch suggest prior review rounds already happened.

---

### FEATURE_REQUESTS
- Include test files changed in the same branch/PR, not just those changed in the diff — the observation showed 0 tests, but tests may exist in a commit not shown in the diff hunks
- For .env file parsers, auto-flag divergence from python-dotenv behavior (the de facto standard) as a review note
