Error updating environment_variables: {e}

Error message

Error updating environment_variables: {e}

What it means

Catch-all error while persisting environment_variables to LiteLLM_Config: reading the existing param row, filtering SSO-related vars, or JSON-serializing and writing it back threw an unexpected exception. The original error '{e}' identifies the failing step; the config may remain in its pre-update state.
