Using '$' in API token breaks .env file parsing (sorta)

[Zee-Series-AI]

I am storing my API Tokens in a .env file.
I am using Bun, but I believe this applies to any .env file parser, the '$' is reserved for substitution and this causes issues when using the API Token without escaping every single '$' character.

The use of the '$' character breaks .env file parsing. I have to manually escape all '$' with a '' for the token to be usable.

Tokens containing $ characters cause compatibility issues with shells and env parsers since $ is a special character for variable substitution. This forces users to escape tokens with double $$ in their .env files, which isn't intuitive and could break things if done incorrectly.
