EnvModel: Returns model info in error if option of env not set

Overview​

These tests validate nestjs-mod EnvModel: environment variable reading, required field validation, and DI value propagation into services.

What We Do And Verify​

  • We verify how envTransform and EnvModel/EnvModelProperty decorators extract and validate env values.

  • We confirm expected behavior for missing or invalid required env fields.

  • We lock the DI access contract for env values in services.

  • We explicitly validate the error contract: not only failure itself, but also error shape/content expected by module consumers.
