As noted in #43761, we had recently set `CI=true` for the Renovate and
Containerbase orgs on Mend-hosted apps due to a pnpm v11 requirement:
ERR_PNPM_ABORTED_REMOVE_MODULES_DIR_NO_TTY Aborted removal of
modules directory due to no TTY
If you are running pnpm in CI, set the CI environment variable to
"true", or set "confirmModulesPurge" to "false".
Similarly in #43606, it was noted that we should do this for `mise lock`
to mark the workspace as "trusted".
Although we went with a different situation, there will be cases where
this is useful for tools being executed, for instance when we invoke `yarn`.
We also make sure to keep our documentation up-to-date as we add to the
specific overrides.
With help from Claude Sonnet and Opus to:
- perform some of the mechanical updates as part of this change
- ensure that the Docker sidecar always has `hardcodedProcessEnv` passed
into it
- catch a needed change to `exposeAllEnv` handling

As part of recent work around environment variable handling, it's clear
we should provide more user-facing documentation on how environment
variables are handled, and which are passed to child processes by
default.
We can create a "deep dive" page for this, with an autogenerated list of
the environment variables in `basicEnvVars` that are always passed to
child processes, if they're set.
We can also point self-hosted administrators and users alike to the
options they have to control this, too.
With help from GPT-4.1 for case-insensitive sorting.
