  Helpers for running tasks in a release environment.

  This module is intended for commands invoked via:

  @doc """
  Run the database seeds script inside a release.

  This is designed to be run against a *running* release (e.g. via
  `bin/action_requests_demo eval ...` inside your Docker container),
  so it does **not** try to start the application or endpoint again.
  It only ensures Faker is running, then evaluates the standard
  `priv/repo/seeds.exs` file, which uses `ActionRequestsDemo.Repo`.
