Roadmap: generalize env pushdown beyond the built-in credential types #815

Description

@piscisaureus

Env pushdown today is hardcoded per credential plugin (ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, the Postgres and Kubernetes variables, a few others). Operators cannot declare their own variables, and profiles with several credentials of the same type have no way to say which one lands in which variable (#490).

Direction: pushdown becomes something an operator declares, and something an external plugin can contribute, rather than a fixed list in core.

Prior art, none of it vetted as the final shape:

Before building, the design should be compared on: no breaking change for existing gateway.hcl files, how external plugins declare variables, how a profile disambiguates same-type credentials, and what clawpatrol env prints. This is sequenced after the current maintenance work.
