Indoor long range wide area network (LoRaWAN) propagation is shaped by structural and time-varying environmental factors, which limit single-slope log-distance models and the standard log-normal shadowing assumption. We propose an environment-conditioned path loss framework that augments a log-distance multi-wall baseline with co-recorded environmental covariates (relative humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, particulate matter, and barometric pressure) and receiver-reported signal-to-noise, and we validate both the mean and the residual law statistically. The approach is evaluated on a 12-month campaign in an eighth-floor office (240 m^2) using time-blocked 5-fold cross-validation and a chronological hold-out. Across parametric regressors (regularized multiple linear regression (MLR), conjugate Bayesian linear regression, and a selective quadratic MLR extension on continuous predictors), the selective polynomial mean improves out-of-sample accuracy, reducing cross-validated root mean square error from 8.23 to 7.38 dB and increasing R^2 from 0.81 to 0.84. Out-of-fold (OOF) residuals are distinctly non-Gaussian and are best summarized by a compact 3-component Gaussian mixture with a sharp core and a light, broad tail. Finally, we translate prediction error into reliability by prescribing the fade margin as the upper-tail percentile of OOF errors, attaching moving-block bootstrap uncertainty, and validating the resulting outage on a held-out set. At a 1% outage target (99% reliability), the polynomial model requires 25.73 dB versus 27.79 to 28.05 dB for linear baselines, enabling tighter indoor massive Internet of Things link budgets aligned with sixth-generation reliability targets under energy constraints.
