Guest code reads every host variable through process.env; writes are not passed to subprocesses.
Variables Elide sets
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
TMPDIR | A per-run directory, removed on exit. TMP and TEMP on Windows. |
ELIDE_SYS_TMP | The system temporary directory. os.tmpdir() returns it. |
Elide does not set NODE_ENV.
Dotenv files
.env files load only through process.loadEnvFile([path]), which defaults to .env in the current directory.
Security
--allow-env[=NAMES] sets which variables the elide.pkl manifest may read; it does not filter process.env.
Variables that configure Elide itself: Runtime Environment Variables.
