feat(agents): configure provider launch environment

[Waishnav]

Provider launch settings can now live with each configured subagent provider. Codex, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and Grok accept one executable command plus a literal string env map. OpenCode and Pi reject these fields because their runtimes are embedded.

Each provider inherits the daemon environment, overlays its configured values, and then applies the explicit command so it wins over legacy *_COMMAND values. Empty strings are preserved, process.env is never mutated, availability checks use the same resolved settings, and neither availability nor agent output exposes environment values. This deliberately omits fromEnv, aliases, an argument DSL, and secret-store machinery. The generated JSON schema and focused configuration, adapter, availability, and onboarding tests are included; the full suite and build pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added optional per-provider command overrides and environment variables for local agent configuration.
  • Added support for custom Claude commands and provider-specific environment settings.
  • Added validation for command values and environment variable names.
  • Preserved configured command and environment settings during onboarding.

• Bug Fixes

  • Improved local agent detection to consistently use configured commands and environment variables.
  • Prevented sensitive environment values from appearing in availability output.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds validated command and env settings for local-agent providers. Provider-specific environments now reach availability checks and drivers through CLI, server, and daemon paths. Tests cover validation, merging, command selection, onboarding preservation, and secret-safe output.

Local-agent configuration flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Provider configuration and environment contract schema/v1/devspace.schema.json, src/local-agent-config.ts, src/local-agent-config.test.ts, src/onboarding.test.ts	Provider configurations accept trimmed commands and identifier-valid environment maps. Environment values merge with inherited values. Embedded providers reject these fields.
Availability checks and driver wiring src/local-agent-availability.ts, src/local-agent-adapters.ts, src/local-agent-daemon-main.ts, src/cli.ts, src/server.ts	Availability checks and drivers use provider-specific environments. Entry points pass process.env and subagent configuration.
Command and environment integration coverage src/local-agent-availability.test.ts, src/local-agent-claude.test.ts	Tests cover executable command overrides, environment precedence, command selection, and secret-safe availability output.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 9bee9

Provider launch configuration may accept an empty value or directory as an executable, causing invalid settings to appear available and potentially fail when launched. This is a bounded correctness risk that is mergeable with explicit owner follow-up.

A rabbit trims commands with care

Env keys hop through valid air
Providers find their tailored way
Secrets stay hidden from display
Drivers follow paths anew

Greptile Summary

Provider-specific executable commands and environment overrides now flow consistently through configuration validation, runtime adapter creation, and availability checks.

• Adds validated command and env settings for executable-backed providers.
• Preserves inherited environment values without mutating process.env.
• Aligns generated JSON Schema validation with the runtime Zod contract.
• Extends availability, adapter, configuration, and onboarding coverage.

Confidence Score: 5/5

The PR appears safe to merge.

No blocking failure remains.
