Environment variables

The UMBRELLA_ASSERTS or VITE_UMBRELLA_ASSERTS env variables are used to control the behavior of the assert() function in production builds: If either is set (to a non-empty string), the function will always be enabled. Otherwise (by default), assert() will be disabled for production builds, i.e. if process.env.NODE_ENV === "production".
