Environment variable pollution in vscode, codex extension sets DEBUG="release"

What version of the IDE extension are you using?

26.304.20706, vscode

What subscription do you have?

plus

Which IDE are you using?

vscode

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26100.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

Codex extension inject DEBUG=release env var into some other extension created integrated terminal. For now I can confirm, Kubernetes plugin created port-forward terminal have this pollution, which will then cause it turn on verbose logging.

❯ Get-ChildItem Env: | Sort-Object Name | rg DEBUG
DEBUG                          release

If disable codex extension, or just run the same command outside of vscode integrated terminal, no output.

And to verify:

❯ cd C:\Users\tpob\.vscode\extensions\openai.chatgpt-0.4.79\

❯ rg 'DEBUG.{0,100}release'

which means the packed extension indeed have this DEBUG env var setting logic. But since source code of it not available, I can't see which kind of integrated terminal it affects.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

1. install codex extension
2. install kubernetes extension ms-kubernetes-tools.vscode-kubernetes-tools.
3. right click a pod and select port-forward, to forward an arbitary port. (fig 1) thiis will open an integrated terminal.
4. in the created terminal, ctrl + c to interrupt the process, and check the env var like above
5. turn off codex extension and try again

but i think from the packed extension it may be more easy to reproduce it because finding a set k8s environment seems a little bit heavy for debugging this problem.

What is the expected behavior?

no env var pollution
