Research direction
Read the environment-variable setup and restore code in pkg/cli/security_regression_test.go around lines 365–366 and pkg/cli/engine_secrets_test.go around lines 550–639. Replace the manual save/restore patterns with t.Setenv and run the relevant tests in pkg/cli; done when both files use the test-managed restoration and the tests pass.

Description
Description
pkg/cli/security_regression_test.go:365-366 and pkg/cli/engine_secrets_test.go (around lines 550-639) save/restore environment variables by hand via os.Setenv/os.Unsetenv in defer statements, live-verified today. If a test body calls t.Fatal or panics in an unexpected place before its own defer runs (or ordering across helpers gets tangled), env state can leak between tests; the manual pattern also blocks safe parallelization of these tests later.
Expected Impact
Safer, more idiomatic environment-variable handling in tests; removes a class of flaky-test risk tied to env leakage across test functions.
Suggested Fix
Replace the manual save/restore pairs with t.Setenv(key, value), which the testing package guarantees restores the prior value even on test failure, and which explicitly conflicts (loudly, at compile/run time) with t.Parallel() rather than silently racing. This repo already has ~450 existing t.Setenv call sites to follow as precedent.
