What
Child processes started by the bridge now inherit an explicit allowlist of environment variables plus an explicit clear-list, and several credential carriers that used to be passed through are unset: OAuth and API-key file descriptors, the background auth snapshot path (CLAUDE_BG_AUTH_SNAPSHOT_PATH), account, org and email identifiers, the session ingress URL and the exit-after-stop delay.
Details
Lowercase duplicates of every cleared name are deleted too, so a lowercase shadow cannot smuggle a value through.
