In our EPP image, we include an ENV value from the secret containing a huggingfacetoken so that we can utilize tokenizers for the various models. Supporting the ENV as it exists in podspec rather than a simple key-value map would allow us to use this secret without exposing it as part of the deployment manifest: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/gateway-api-inference-extension/blob/main/config/charts/inferencepool/templates/epp-deployment.yaml#L66-L69.
