+== Why is this an issue?
+
+Unwrapping the result of `option_env!` will panic at runtime if the environment variable doesn't exist, whereas `env!` catches it at compile-time, ensuring safer code execution.
+
+=== Code examples
+
+==== Noncompliant code example
+
+[source,rust,diff-id=1,diff-type=noncompliant]
+---_
+let _ = option_env!("HOME").unwrap(); // Noncompliant: Can panic at runtime.
+---_
+
+==== Compliant solution
+
+[source,rust,diff-id=1,diff-type=compliant]
+---_
+let _ = env!("HOME"); // Compliant: Ensures compile-time checking.
