/**
 * #2483 — the claude reviewer lane spawned headless from the project cwd, so the spawned session
 * inherited the invoking user's global CLAUDE.md, the project CLAUDE.md, and Claude Code
 * auto-memory.
 *
 * That made it the only reviewer seeing anything beyond the prompt file: the prompt is assembled
 * once (PROJECT.md, the roadmap section, every PLAN file, CONTEXT.md, RESEARCH.md, REQUIREMENTS.md)
 * before any lane runs, gemini receives only that prompt, and codex runs `--ephemeral`. Beyond the
 * measured injection cost, the asymmetry cuts at the workflow's premise — "independent review"
 * meant something different for the claude lane than for the other two.
 *
 * The fix is declared data, not a handler: the claude lane carries `invoke.env`, the resolver folds
 * it into the plan, and the runner merges it over the inherited environment for that ONE child.
 * Two variables because these are two independently-toggled mechanisms —
 * CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_CLAUDE_MDS suppresses CLAUDE.md file loading and
 * CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY suppresses the auto-memory system. The pair is also robust
 * against a host that exports `CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_AUTO_MEMORY=0`, which forces auto-memory back on.
 *
 * Per-invocation, never process-wide: the guard must not reach the orchestrating session (which may
 * itself be Claude Code on the SELF_CLI="auto" path) or any later lane in the same run. The
 * process-env assertions below are what hold that, and they are the reason this file exercises the
 * real runner rather than reading source text.
 *
 * ADR-2782 Phase 5b moved reviewer dispatch out of `review.md` prose and into the declared lane
 * table, so this is a behavioural regression against the resolver and runner. The prior revision of
 * this file asserted against `review.md`'s dispatch lines; that surface no longer exists.
