Context

When creating or updating environment variables via the env_vars tool, there's no way to control the is_buildtime and is_runtime flags. All vars default to is_buildtime: true, is_runtime: true.

This causes a hard failure when setting multiline values (like PEM keys for PASSPORT_PRIVATE_KEY) because Coolify injects build-time vars as ARG directives in the Dockerfile, and multiline values break the Dockerfile parser:

Dockerfile:11
--------------------
 9 |     ARG DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
10 |     ARG PASSPORT_PRIVATE_KEY=-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----
11 | >>> MIIJQgIBADANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAASCCSwwggko...
--------------------
ERROR: failed to build: dockerfile parse error on line 11: unknown instruction

Expected behaviour

The create and update actions on env_vars should accept optional is_buildtime and is_runtime boolean parameters, defaulting to the current behaviour if not provided.

{
  "action": "create",
  "resource": "application",
  "uuid": "...",
  "key": "PASSPORT_PRIVATE_KEY",
  "value": "-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\n...",
  "is_buildtime": false,
  "is_runtime": true
}

Workaround

Currently the only way to set a runtime-only variable is via the Coolify web UI.
