Enforcing the SECRET_KEY requirement in production is critical for the security of a Flask application. The SECRET_KEY is used to sign session cookies and other data, preventing tampering and forgery. Without a properly set and secure key, attackers could manipulate sessions or gain unauthorized access to user data. This change ensures that production environments cannot run without a defined SECRET_KEY, protecting the app from serious security vulnerabilities.
