When executing any task normally, such as task mytask (without overwriting the variable ENVIRONMENT), everything works as expected, and the environment variables from the .env.dev file are loaded. However, when I overwrite the environment variable with task mytask ENVIRONMENT=prod, the variable is updated to prod within the task, but the .env.dev file is still loaded.
It appears that the variable is overwritten only after the dotenv file is loaded. I would expect the change to be applied beforehand. This would be highly useful for managing the environment on a global level.
