You need to add aeration to your pots but a cheap bag of perlite and make sure 50% of your mix is chunky stuff.
Grow lights should run 16 hours for producing veggies.
The aeration will help prevent rot and fungal issues. Because you want your beans to never dry out completely. Normal soil with no aeration will be too heavy for indoor growth.
Also, add a fan, veggies are prone to fungal issues without a fan and airflow around the plants. The fan will also help to strengthen the plant stems like wind would outdoors.

She will definitely have more vigorous growth and produce more outdoors. All fruits and veggies produce better outdoors. But if you just want to enjoy her indoors than that works too!
I've grown lettuce, radishes, strawberries and green onions indoors that produced successcully albeit with slower growth and not as much production. I moved those outdoors now.
But, I also have a Dwarf key lime tree, Passion Fruit and coffee trees indoors as well. Mainly because I want to enjoy them indoors. I know they won't produce like they do outdoors. But why not?
I know quite a few bean varieties make very good houseplants. As long as you have some airflow and plenty of bright light they will grow.
