Going Insane -- Vercel Not Recognizing Environment Variable

The env variable was added 3 deployments ago (first pic).

Yet my build keeps failing due to that environment variable being undefined instead of a string (second pic).

I am going insane thinking about can possibly causing this. Please help.

Im guessing you are using turborepo, are you maybe using strict env var mode & not specified the database_url there?

that's a really good call. i guess i'm a little confused -- i read the article and see the example in the first pic. the second pic is my turbo.json at the root. i have no env variables locally at the root, and only in the /apps/web folder

the vercel deployment is set to that folder (3rd pic)

am i missing something?
basically by default it doesnt pass the env vars
