Ignacy Łątka 86a2668fb0 test: stop the suite and the process environment leaking into each other (#1058)
Test env leakage, both directions.

**Out** — six `argent-tools-client` suites pointed `HOME`/`USERPROFILE`
at a temp dir, deleted the dir, and never restored, so a `--no-isolate`
run handed every later file a home that no longer exists. Lifted the
redirect into a shared `test/helpers/home-redirect.ts`; the three suites
that already hand-rolled the save/restore moved onto it too.

**In** — `packages/telemetry` had no `setupFiles` at all, so its unit
tests read the developer's shell. Added
`test/setup/clear-telemetry-env.ts` (ARGENT_ prefix sweep +
`DO_NOT_TRACK` + the cloud-agent detector's markers), wired via
`setupFiles`, following the `@argent/tool-server` precedent — and
dropped the per-file guards it replaces.

**Pinned, not just fixed** — a `test/setup/assert-env-restored.ts` in
each of the three packages fails any suite that leaves a watched
variable changed, so dropping a restore can no longer pass. Each watches
`HOME` and `USERPROFILE`, plus `PATH` (`argent-tools-client`,
`tool-server`) or `CI` and the five `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_*` (`telemetry`)
— the ones the sweep deliberately leaves ambient and individual tests
then set by hand. Each of the three `clear-*-env` setup files has a pin
test that re-imports it against planted sentinels;
`packages/tool-server`'s existing copy gains the mixed-case one it was
missing.

`packages/tool-server` is in the diff because it has the same two gaps:
it originated the prefix sweep (both pre-existing copies were
case-sensitive, so they are fixed together) and it has the largest
redirect surface of the three — 12 files hand-rolling the redirect plus
17 going through `scopeTempHome` — with no guard. It is already green
under one; deleting `scopeTempHome`'s restore turns 17 files red. Two of
its suites restored `HOME` by assigning back a saved value that can be
`undefined`, writing the string `"undefined"`; the guard caught both on
a host with no ambient `HOME`, and they are fixed here.

`windows-e2e.yml` runs seven `tool-server` files through the config this
branch edits, but neither that config nor `test/setup/**` was in its
`paths:` filter — so the new setup file would have reached
windows-latest unverified. Added both.

No docs change: test infrastructure only, no user-facing behaviour.

Fixes #1028
Fixes #839

Same-class problems found while reviewing this and filed rather than
folded in: #1068 (`argent-cli` fails under `DO_NOT_TRACK=1`), #1069 (the
`ios-device-runner` suites pin only `HOME`, so the redirect is inert on
Windows — its second half, the restore that wrote the string
`"undefined"`, is fixed here because the new guard caught it), #1070
(`useTempHome` shares one saved-`HOME` slot, so a nested `scopeHome()`
restores a deleted dir), #1071 (`tool-server`'s sweep is prefix-only, so
an exported `ADB_SERVER_SOCKET` reddens its suite), #1072
(`external-devices.test.ts` reads the developer's real
`~/.argent/providers`) and #1073 (`flow-script-environment.test.ts`
fails with no ambient `HOME`).

<summary>#1028 — probe results, six files</summary>

`test/zz-home-probe.test.ts` from the issue body, run per suite.
Vitest's sequencer orders by cached duration and falls back to file
size, so the cache is cleared before each run to keep the tiny probe
last:

```
rm -rf node_modules/.vite/vitest ../../node_modules/.vite/vitest
npx vitest run test/<suite>.test.ts test/zz-home-probe.test.ts --no-isolate --no-file-parallelism
```

| suite | before | after |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `launcher-state` | 1 failed \| 23 passed — `argent-state-test-…
exists=false` | 24 passed |
| `launcher-spawn` | 1 failed \| 8 passed — `argent-spawn-test-…
exists=false` | 9 passed |
| `launcher-version-gate` | 1 failed \| 7 passed —
`argent-version-gate-test-… exists=false` | 8 passed |
| `launcher-duplicate-spawn` | 1 failed \| 10 passed —
`argent-dup-test-… exists=false` | 11 passed |
| `launcher-exit` | 1 failed \| 1 passed — `argent-exit-test-…
exists=false` | 2 passed |
| `link-config` | 1 failed \| 43 passed — `argent-link-config-test-…
exists=false` | 44 passed |
| `launcher-sweep` (control, fixed in #713) | passed | passed |
| `launcher-ps-guard` (control, fixed in #713) | passed | passed |

The probe itself is a diagnostic and is not part of the diff —
`test/setup/assert-env-restored.ts` is the durable guard, and it needs
no `--no-isolate` to fire.

<summary>#839 — the stated repro is stale; here is what is actually
left</summary>

The issue was filed 2026-08-18. #714 landed 2026-08-19 and
hand-enumerated the variables inside `index.test.ts` (a
`CONSENT_ENV_KEYS` `beforeEach`) and `base-props.test.ts` (eight
`delete`s). On `aa90873b5` all three named repros are green:

```
$ DO_NOT_TRACK=1            npx vitest run --root packages/telemetry   → 319 passed
$ ARGENT_TELEMETRY=0        npx vitest run --root packages/telemetry   → 319 passed
$ CURSOR_AGENT_WORKER_ID=x  npx vitest run --root packages/telemetry   → 319 passed
```

What remains is the structural gap the issue names: the protection is
per-file and per-variable, nothing pins it, and `vitest.config.ts` still
has no `setupFiles`. This PR moves the property to the setup file and
deletes the two hand-rolled guards, so the setup file is what holds it —
see the mutation section, where removing the `setupFiles` line
reproduces the issue's 17 and 1 exactly.

Post-change sweep, one hostile value per run, 329 tests each:
`DO_NOT_TRACK=1`, `ARGENT_TELEMETRY=0`, `ARGENT_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1`,
`CLAUDE_CODE_ENVIRONMENT_KIND=byoc`, `CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT=remote`,
`CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SESSION_ID=x`, `CURSOR_AGENT_WORKER_ID=x`,
`CURSOR_WORKER_POOL_NAME=x`, `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true`,
`GITHUB_ACTOR=copilot`,
`GITHUB_WORKFLOW_REF=…copilot-swe-agent.yml@refs/heads/main`,
`REPLIT_AGENT=1`, `ARGENT_HOST`/`ARGENT_PORT`/`ARGENT_AUTH_TOKEN`,
`CI=1`, `CI=false`, `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`,
`OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS`, the real CI combination, and all eleven at
once — 329 passed every time.

`GITHUB_ACTIONS` is a ci-info vendor input as well as a copilot-agent
marker, so clearing it does move `isCi()` — but only its GitHub Actions
branch, and an Actions run also sets `CI`, which `isCi()` answers ahead
of any vendor check. `GITHUB_ACTOR` and `GITHUB_WORKFLOW_REF` appear in
neither `ci-info/vendors.json` nor `ci-detect.ts`'s generic list, so
they cost nothing. The rest of the ci-info surface and `OTEL_*` are
deliberately left alone; the setup file says so.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Tests**
- Improved test isolation by consistently restoring temporary
environment settings after test runs.
- Added safeguards that detect leaked environment settings and flag
incomplete cleanup.
- Added coverage to ensure telemetry-related environment variables are
cleared before tests and do not affect results.
- Added cross-platform checks for environment variable handling,
including mixed-case names.
- Expanded validation for home-directory redirection and restoration
behavior.
- Added checks confirming environment cleanup runs in the correct order
across test suites.
