1//! Spawn a user-supplied command (e.g. `publisher.cmd`) with a clean,
2//! whitelisted environment.
3//!
4//! Centralised here so the `Command::new(<arbitrary>)` shell-out lives
5//! inside the module-boundaries allow-list. Inlining this in the CLI
6//! crate would put `Command::new` outside the allow-list and counts
7//! as a boundary violation.

32/// Construct a `Command` whose argv is `argv` and whose environment is
33/// reset to the [`ENV_WHITELIST`] subset of the parent's env. The first
34/// element of `argv` is the program; the rest are arguments. The caller
35/// is responsible for adding any further env vars / cwd / I/O config
36/// before invoking `output()`.
37///
38/// Returns `Err` when `argv` is empty — surfacing a clear error at the
39/// allow-listed boundary is preferable to deferring failure to the
40/// kernel via an empty `program` path.
