From 518f2855522fd92b55b2fa1eba6b51990a552947 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kiet Ho Date: Sat, 17 Jan 2026 11:54:36 -0800 Subject: [PATCH 01/11] fix(desktop): use full env for pty subprocess, filtered env for shell The subprocess (pty-subprocess.js) is trusted code that may need runtime environment variables to function correctly in CI. The shell spawned by the subprocess still receives filtered env via msg.env.
