feat(core): let a server manifest declare service environment variables - #1
Conversation
Server manifests could not influence the environment of the native service the platform adapters register (systemd on Ubuntu, launchd on macOS, the Windows Service registry Environment value). Products that need the installed service to start with extra process environment variables — for example, an automated-validation opt-out flag a product's own smoke tests set — had no way to get them there. Add LocalInstallerArtifactManifest.EnvironmentVariables (empty by default) and thread it through ProductComponent, the runtime ProductManifest.ServerEnvironmentVariables accessor, and each platform adapter: - Ubuntu writes a systemd drop-in override (<unit>.d/10-environment.conf) next to the shipped unit file instead of mutating it directly. - macOS adds entries to the launchd plist's existing EnvironmentVariables dict. - Windows writes the service's registry Environment (REG_MULTI_SZ) value after the service is created and before it is started. LocalInstaller has no opinion on the keys or values a product declares.

Priority: ➖ Normal — Schedule the server environment-variable capability because it changes service configuration across Ubuntu, macOS, and Windows installers without supplied external urgency. Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Service environment-variable support can generate Ubuntu root-run installation scripts. Malformed environment-variable names can corrupt that script, and the empty-variable test currently does not match generated output; resolve both before merge.

ExecuteInstallAsync always removes a stale <unit>.d directory for idempotency, even when the manifest declares no environment variables this run. The "no drop-in" test asserted the script never mentions ".service.d" at all, which the cleanup line trips. Assert on the drop-in file and its [Service] header instead — what actually distinguishes "no environment variables declared".

Address CodeRabbit findings on the systemd drop-in: - Quote and escape each Environment= assignment per systemd.exec(5) config quoting rules so values with spaces, quotes, or backslashes parse correctly, and reject values containing newlines/control characters that could inject a config line or terminate the SERVICE_ENVIRONMENT heredoc early. - Remove only the drop-in file this code owns (10-environment.conf) on reinstall/uninstall instead of the whole <unit>.d directory, which could hold unrelated admin- or package-manager-owned overrides. - Restart the service after enabling it. `enable --now` only starts an inactive unit; on an upgrade of an already-running service, a changed drop-in environment would otherwise never take effect.

EnvironmentOverrideConf_escapesEmbeddedQuotes was one closing quote short in its hand-typed verbatim string literal, so the literal never terminated and swallowed the rest of the file, producing cascading CS1003/CS1056 syntax errors on a genuinely clean checkout. Build the expected string from a quote constant instead of hand-counting adjacent escaped quotes, and verified the exact output by simulating the verbatim-string grammar rather than eyeballing it again.
The prior CodeRabbit fix changed cleanup from rm -rf <service.d> to rm -f <service.d>/10-environment.conf so it only removes the file this code owns. That cleanup line runs unconditionally, so it legitimately contains "10-environment.conf" even when no environment variables are declared - the "no drop-in" test's negative assertion on that string was checking the wrong thing. Assert on the mkdir -p that only happens when content is actually written instead.

SystemdAssignment validated the value for control characters but wrote the key straight into a root-run SERVICE_ENVIRONMENT heredoc. A key containing a newline (e.g. ending in the heredoc's own terminator) could inject arbitrary content into a script that runs as root. Validate the key the same way, and escape the whole key=value assignment together rather than the value alone. Add a regression test using a key that embeds the heredoc terminator.

Summary
LocalInstallerArtifactManifest.EnvironmentVariables(empty by default) so a product's server manifest can declare extra environment variables for the native service the platform adapters register.ProductComponent→ProductManifest.ServerEnvironmentVariables→ each platform adapter:<unit>.d/10-environment.conf) alongside the shipped unit file, rather than mutating it.EnvironmentVariablesdict.Environment(REG_MULTI_SZ) value aftersc.exe createand before the service starts (the standard mechanism Windows Services use for extra process environment).Motivation
A downstream product added strict-by-default authentication to its server (deny all requests unless a password or an explicit opt-out env var is configured). Its installed-service smoke/package validation has no way to start the real installed service with that opt-out set, since there was previously no path from a product's server manifest to the actual service registration's environment. This is a narrow, generic capability gap — nothing here is product-specific.
