Maximilian Roos 9032308400 refactor(tests): give the PTY test environment one home (#3618)
Follow-up to #3616, which fixed a PTY snapshot flake by adding one env
knob — and to add it I had to touch three separate env builders, none of
which knew about the others. This consolidates that surface.

## What was there

The environment a test subprocess runs in was assembled at nine sites:
five copies of the PTY prologue (`env_clear`, HOME, PATH, the Windows
block, coverage passthrough) and four partial restatements of the
determinism knobs. There was no rule for which belonged where, so adding
a knob meant finding every copy, and a missed copy surfaced later as a
flake somewhere unrelated.

## What's there now

Three named layers, each with one home in `src/testing/mod.rs`:

| Layer | Home | Contents |
|---|---|---|
| Baseline | `STATIC_TEST_ENV_VARS` | knobs every child needs, whatever
it's attached to |
| Terminal | `PTY_TEST_ENV_VARS` (new) | knobs only a TTY triggers —
`WORKTRUNK_TEST_SPINNERS=0` |
| Fixture | `pty_env_vars(TestEnvPaths { … })` (new) | the paths that
vary per fixture |

`configure_cli_command` and `configure_pty_command` apply them by
transport. That turns the standing `// NOTE: TERM is intentionally NOT
in STATIC_TEST_ENV_VARS` comment into a consequence rather than an
exception: `TERM` is transport-level, so it can't sit in a baseline both
transports share.

`WORKTRUNK_TEST_SPINNERS` stays out of the shared baseline deliberately.
It's inert on a pipe, and insta-cmd records the whole environment into
every snapshot it writes (`Info::from_std_command` builds it
unconditionally from `cmd.get_envs()` — there's no hook to suppress it),
so putting it there would add a no-op line to 1043 snapshot files.

`configure_pty_command` is now the only place a PTY child's isolation is
set up. `shell_command`, `execute_shell_script`,
`configure_pty_environment`, `exec_in_pty_shell`,
`exec_bash_truly_interactive` and two `wt switch` spawns all delegate to
it. `shell_wrapper`'s `STANDARD_TEST_ENV` and `bare_repository`'s
hand-rolled `test_env_vars` are gone, as are `configure_shell`'s
hand-copied knobs and four redundant `CLICOLOR_FORCE` lines in
`switch_picker`. Net −149 lines.

One spawn stays outside: the Windows ConPTY smoke test, which runs
PowerShell against a deliberately bare environment and isn't a wt child
at all.

## Reviewing

Start at `src/testing/mod.rs` — the three layers and their doc comments
are the whole design. Everything under `tests/` is deletion plus a
delegation call.

Two snapshots change: `install_preview_with_gutter` and
`install_preview_declined` now carry ANSI, because those two tests
previously ran without `CLICOLOR_FORCE`. Text is identical. Arguably a
fix — the test named "with_gutter" couldn't see the gutter (a
background-color block), while its own prompt line was already colored,
so the file was internally inconsistent.

## Testing

Full `wt hook pre-merge --yes` green: 4601 tests, `--features
shell-integration-tests`, `RUSTFLAGS='-D warnings'`, `insta --check`.

The knob's delivery path was verified by probe rather than by
inspection. With `sleep 6` in the mock `llm`,
`test_readme_example_hooks_pre_merge` passes; flipping
`PTY_TEST_ENV_VARS` to `"1"` reproduces the original failure byte for
byte:

```
+␛[1G␛[J␛[2m↳␛[22m ␛[2mWaiting for the commit generation command (4s)␛[22m␛[1G␛[J␛[2m↳␛[22m ␛[2mWaiting for the commit generation command (5s)␛[22m
```

So the knob reaches the shell-wrapper PTY child through the shared
setup, not through a surviving copy. Both probe edits are reverted.
