Subject: [PATCH] chore: centralize configuration management using a new
 `Config` class

- Replaced all direct `process.env` references with `Config` class constants.
- Added `dotenv` package to manage environment variables.
- Updated affected files, including schema loader, Zabbix API, resolvers, logging system, and integration points.
- Improved maintainability and consistency in environment variable handling.
