+# VDB Benchmark -- backend connection parameters
+# ================================================
+#
+# Copy this file to .env and uncomment / edit the values you need.
+# The benchmark CLI loads this file automatically (requires python-dotenv).
+#
+# Naming convention:
+#   {BACKEND}__{PARAM}
+#
+# Both parts are UPPER-CASED and separated by a double underscore (__).
+# The PARAM name matches the backend's connection_params (see --help).
+#
+# Precedence (highest wins):
+#   CLI flags  >  environment / .env  >  YAML config  >  built-in defaults
+#
+# To verify which source each parameter comes from, run:
+#   python -m vdbbench.benchmark --backend milvus --config ... --what-if
