+"""Session-scoped environment variables — Python port of
+``utils/sessionEnvVars.ts``.
+
+These are env vars set during a session (via the upstream ``/env`` slash
+command in npm) and applied only to spawned child processes — not to the
+host Python REPL/agent process itself. Bash and similar tool providers
+read this map to merge into ``subprocess`` environments.
+
+Mirrors the upstream module-level singleton: callers import the helpers
+directly rather than passing a registry around.
