* control lacked: herdr applies that overlay BEFORE the shell starts, so any sourced file can undo
* it — and did.
*
* <p><b>Which file is last depends on the platform, so the scrub runs from two of them.</b> zsh
* <p><b>zsh reads its four startup files under three different conditions, so no single file is
* guaranteed to run — the scrub has to cover the gap between them, not just the platforms.</b> zsh
* reads {@code .zshenv} always, {@code .zprofile} and {@code .zlogin} only for a LOGIN shell, and
* {@code .zshrc} only for an INTERACTIVE one. herdr does not open the same kind of shell
* everywhere — measured on herdr 0.8.0: macOS panes run {@code -zsh} (login, so {@code .zlogin}
* runs), Linux panes run a plain {@code /usr/bin/zsh} (interactive but NOT login, so
* {@code .zlogin} never runs at all). A scrub in {@code .zlogin} alone is therefore a control that
* silently does nothing on Linux — the exact failure this class exists to remove, one platform
* over.
* {@code .zshrc} only for an INTERACTIVE one. A pane shell that is at least one of login or
* interactive is covered by sourcing the scrub from {@code .zshrc} and {@code .zlogin} (below), but
* a pane shell that is NEITHER reads only {@code .zshenv} and stops — fleetd #388, measured: a herdr
* pane can be neither login nor interactive, and such a pane read {@code .zshenv}, never reached
* {@code scrub.zsh}, and left no report at all. A bare {@code argv[0]} of {@code /usr/bin/zsh}
* proves the shell is NOT a login shell; it says nothing about whether it is interactive, so it
* must never be read as "therefore interactive" — that wrong inference is what let #388 ship.
*
* <p>So both {@code .zshrc} and {@code .zlogin} source the same generated {@code scrub.zsh} after
* sourcing their {@code $HOME} counterpart. On Linux only the first fires; on macOS both do, and
* the second pass is deliberate rather than merely harmless — it re-scrubs anything the operator's
* own {@code ~/.zlogin} exported after {@code .zshrc} had finished. Re-running is idempotent: a
* name already blank is blanked again, and the report is rewritten with the same counts.
* <p>So {@code .zshenv} carries a THIRD pass, guarded by the exact condition that defines the gap:
* {@code [[ ! -o login && ! -o interactive ]]}. That guard is why this pass cannot double-scrub a
* pane that {@code .zshrc} or {@code .zlogin} will also cover — one of {@code -o login}/
* {@code -o interactive} is always true there, so the {@code .zshenv} pass never fires for them, and
* their own unconditional sourcing is untouched. The guard also carries a sentinel
* ({@value #SCRUB_SENTINEL}) so it fires once per PANE and not once per PROCESS: {@code .zshenv} is
* read by every zsh a member's own tooling forks (a plain {@code zsh -c '...'} for a single
* command is itself neither login nor interactive), and those children inherit variables their
* parent deliberately set for them (git hooks get {@code GIT_DIR}, a venv gets
* {@code VIRTUAL_ENV}, a build tool gets {@code NODE_OPTIONS} or {@code JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS}).
* Re-scrubbing every such child would blank all of that, and would also make the pane's own
* {@code scrub-report.txt} — rewritten on every pass — describe whichever child exited last
* instead of the pane. The sentinel is exported only AFTER {@code scrub.zsh} runs, so the pass
* that sets it never sees it and cannot blank it; it must also be on the scrub's own allow-list
* (see {@link #generate(Path, Set)}) so a later pass, in the same pane, cannot blank it back to
* empty — an exported-but-empty sentinel reads as unset to the {@code -z} guard and would silently
* re-enable scrubbing for every subsequent child of that pane.
*
* <p>So all three of {@code .zshenv} (gap only, guarded), {@code .zshrc}, and {@code .zlogin}
* source the same generated {@code scrub.zsh} after sourcing their {@code $HOME} counterpart. A
* login-and-interactive pane runs the {@code .zshrc} and {@code .zlogin} passes, and the second is
* deliberate rather than merely harmless — it re-scrubs anything the operator's own
* {@code ~/.zlogin} exported after {@code .zshrc} had finished. A pane that is neither runs only the
* {@code .zshenv} pass. Re-running is idempotent: a name already blank is blanked again, and the
* report is rewritten with the same counts.
*
* <p>Each generated file sources its {@code $HOME} counterpart FIRST, so {@code PATH} and every
* toolchain binary still resolve exactly as the operator configured them; only afterwards does
* {@code .zlogin} run the scrub: every EXPORTED variable not on the derived allow-list is re-exported
* toolchain binary still resolve exactly as the operator configured them; only afterwards does the
* scrub run: every EXPORTED variable not on the derived allow-list is re-exported
* blank. Blank, not credential-shaped-pattern-filtered: a pattern list ({@code *TOKEN*}, …) is an
* enumeration and misses what it did not think of — a username is the other half of a credential and
* is shaped like none. Credential-SHAPED names among the blanked set go to the WARN log only,
