+- [x] Session-scoped env-var registry (`utils/sessionEnvVars.ts`) ported in `src/session_env_vars.py` and merged into spawned subprocess env via `_build_subprocess_env` (mirrors `utils/shell/bashProvider.ts`)
 - [x] Display formatters from `utils/format.ts` (`formatFileSize`, `formatSecondsShort`, `formatDuration`, `formatNumber`, `formatTokens`) ported in `src/format_utils.py`
