Documented steps

  1. Create a Railway API token with access to both source and target environments
  2. POST to https://backboard.railway.com/graphql/v2
  3. Query the source env: `query variables($projectId: String!, $environmentId: String!) { variables(projectId: $projectId, environmentId: $environmentId) }` for the source environmentId
  4. Build a variables object mapping each returned name to its value
  5. Push to target: `mutation variableCollectionUpsert($input: VariableCollectionUpsertInput!) { variableCollectionUpsert(input: $input) }` with input = { projectId, environmentId: targetEnvironmentId, variables: {...} }
  6. Use input.replace: true to mirror the source exactly (drops extras in target), or omit it to merge
