Functions

apply_profile_free_env

Neutralizes inherited startup-file hooks so a non-login/non-interactive sh -c / bash -c cannot be hijacked into sourcing a profile or rc file (#451). lean-ctx runs the system POSIX shell profile-free and deterministic; a stray inherited BASH_ENV (read by bash even for bash -c) or ENV pointing at e.g. an exec nu snippet would otherwise silently replace the shell. Cleared to empty so the expansion names no file. No-op in effect for PowerShell/cmd, which ignore both variables.

apply_utf8_locale

Sets LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 when no UTF-8 locale is inherited from the parent process. Without this, commands treat bytes >127 as non-printable (C locale), mangling Cyrillic, CJK, emoji, etc.

decode_output

is_container

Detects if the current process runs inside a Docker/container environment.

is_non_interactive

Returns true if stdin is NOT a terminal (pipe, /dev/null, etc.)

is_powershell

Returns true when shell_path points to a PowerShell executable.

join_command

Join multiple CLI arguments into a single command string, using quoting conventions appropriate for the detected shell.

join_command_for

resolve_carriage_returns

Resolve carriage-return (\r) progress overwrites in captured output.

resolve_powershell_profile_path

Resolve the active current-user PowerShell profile path.

shell_and_flag

shell_name

Returns a short, human-readable shell name (e.g. “bash”, “zsh”, “powershell”, “cmd”).

zsh_safe_command

Wrap a command to disable zsh nomatch and equals (GH #1439, #1448).
