fix(server): load .env from cwd as fallback when .paperclip/.env is missing

Browse Source 
The server only loads environment variables from .paperclip/.env, which is
not the standard location users expect. When DATABASE_URL is set in a .env
file in the project root (cwd), it is silently ignored, requiring users to
manually export the variable.

Add a fallback that loads cwd/.env after .paperclip/.env with override:false,
so the Paperclip-specific env file always takes precedence but standard .env
files in the project root are also picked up.
