Alix-007 909c24e3b7 fix(config): skip state-dir dotenv values that are unresolved shell references (#88288)
* fix(config): skip state-dir dotenv values that are unresolved shell references

readStateDirDotEnvVarsFromStateDir accepted any non-empty value from the
state-dir .env file and passed it into the managed service env. When a value
contains an unresolved shell variable reference such as "${SUPERMEMORY_KEY}"
or "$MY_VAR", dotenv preserves the literal string. The value then reaches
the LaunchAgent/systemd wrapper as a single-quoted literal, so the credential
is never resolved.

Add containsUnresolvedShellReference() and skip any value matching
$IDENTIFIER, ${...}, or $(...) in parseStateDirDotEnvContent(). Real credential
values (e.g. "sm_abc123") are unaffected.

Fixes #88274

* fix(config): narrow shell-reference detector to whole-value patterns only

The previous /$[\w{(]/ regex matched any value containing $ followed by
a word character, which would incorrectly drop real credentials that merely
contain a dollar sign (e.g. a password like abc$2!xyz).

Replace with isUnresolvedShellReference() that only matches values whose
ENTIRE content is a recognised reference form:
  - $VAR_NAME (simple reference)
  - ${VAR_NAME} (brace-form reference)
  - $(command) (command substitution)

Add a regression test that verifies dollar-bearing real secrets are kept.

* fix(config): use letter/underscore-anchored pattern to avoid matching dollar-numbers

$100, $2, etc. are NOT shell variable references — shell variable names must
begin with a letter or underscore. The previous /^$[\w_]/ would match them.

Change to /^$[A-Za-z_]\w*$/ so only genuine named-variable references like
$MY_VAR are rejected. Dollar-number sequences are now preserved.

* fix(daemon): drop stale systemd env-file refs for skipped state-dir dotenv keys

When a state-dir .env value is an unresolved shell reference ($VAR/${VAR}/$(cmd))
the parser skips it from the managed environment. A prior install could have
written that literal reference into gateway.systemd.env; because the skipped key
no longer appeared in the incoming env or the managed-key removal sets, the stale
literal survived re-stage and could override fresh inline Environment= values.

Surface the skipped shell-reference keys from the state-dir dotenv parser and add
them to the systemd env-file managed-key removal set so re-staging strips the
obsolete literal while preserving operator-only secrets that were never managed
via state-dir .env. launchd regenerates its env file wholesale, so it is
unaffected.
