Stored in the app database — on the Docker volume, not in the code folder — so they survive a rebuild and can be changed without an SSH session. A saved value overrides the matching environment variable.

Gemini Pro writes chapter prose and runs the line edit.
Gemini Flash handles scene plans and the per-chapter continuity pass.
