TryWorld 3cc017cd11 proc: IsMagpie knows the name an update leaves a running exe under (#963)
An update moves the running exe aside to exe.old, and when that name is still
held to exe.old-2, -3 (internal/update/update.go, oldName; two of the Windows
install tests assert .old-2 is where the running exe ended up). IsMagpie stripped
".old" and then ".exe", in that order, which unwraps exe.old but not exe.old-2:
".old" is not a suffix of "magpie.exe.old-2", so nothing came off and the name
matched neither magpie nor dial.

So the Gateway card's "Quit magpie and take over" refused to end the user's own
magpie: quitMagpieOnPort takes the "not-magpie" reason and the window says
"which isn't magpie, so magpie leaves it alone", with no way to end it from
there. startHere reads the same function, so it also misreports a magpie that
took the port back as something else.

The tail is now recognised as the count an update appends. Another program's
own name is still left alone: ".old-2" without a number is not ours, and
"magpie.old-backup" is not an update's.

Unchanged: every name IsMagpie already accepted, and the rule that only magpie's
own programs are ended — nothing else is ever touched.

TestIsMagpie's four new paths fail without the change (magpie.exe.old-2,
magpie.exe.old-3, magpie.old-2, dial.old-4 all read as not magpie) and pass
with it; the two negatives are checked in the same table. go vet ./... and the
builds for darwin, GOOS=linux and GOOS=windows pass, and internal/proc passes
-race -count=20.

gui, proc: the Gateway card quits an older magpie serving the gateway and takes it over, or restarts the gateway (leslie_luo on Discord) — the card said an older magpie served the gateway and to quit it, with no way to tell which process that was. With an older magpie on the port it now has "Quit magpie {v} and take over": the process listening on the gateway's port is found (lsof on a Mac, /proc on Linux, Get-NetTCPConnection on Windows), its program path checked to be magpie's (magpie, magpie-*, dial, .exe/.old), asked to quit (SIGTERM, then SIGKILL after 5 s; TerminateProcess on Windows) and this magpie serves the gateway at once instead of within 15 s. Otherwise the card has "Restart gateway" ("Start gateway" when none runs); a magpie of this version or newer gets no button. Anything else on the port is never ended: a program that isn't magpie, one of another user or an administrator, one that won't quit, or a magpie a LaunchAgent/systemd unit/scheduled task starts again is said under the button with its path and pid, in en/zh/ja/de. TestGatewayFixQuitsOnlyAMagpie (copies of the test binary on a port of its own: one named other-server answering as magpie is left running, one named magpie is quit and the gateway is served here, then restarted) and gateway-takeover.test.cjs (WebKit and Chromium, en and zh, no scroll, no left border) fail without the change; TestListeningOn/TestIsMagpie pass on macOS and in a Linux container. go vet, go build (darwin, GOOS=linux nogui, GOOS=windows) and go test -tags nogui ./... under a temp HOME pass.

proc: the login-shell probe asks nushell through /bin/sh, and a value the shell printed instead of expanding counts as unset (#738: with nushell as the login shell, shellEnv's printf '…' "$PATH" "$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR" … came back as the text "$PATH", "$CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR", … — a double-quoted string is literal in nushell — and setUnset exported every one of agentenv.Vars with its own name as the value; Claude sign-in then failed with "mkdir $CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR: read-only file system" (putClaudeLogin's MkdirAll of that relative name under the GUI's cwd /), and the account lapsed minutes later as "Claude Code is no longer signed in", its sign-in looked for under that folder; Codex, Pi, omp and the rest were pointed at "$CODEX_HOME", "$PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR", "$OMP_PROFILE" the same way, in the GUI alone, which is the one caller of UserPath) — shellProbe builds the command: for a shell named nu it is ^/bin/sh -c '<the same printf>' (nushell has no POSIX quoting to ask with and its PATH is a list, while a child of it gets the environment as any child does, PATH joined back into one string, and sh expands the references; the outer string in nushell's single quotes where a backslash is a backslash, the format in sh's double quotes where \0 reaches printf), any other shell keeps the printf it had; and parseShellEnv takes a value that is the variable's own reference ("$CODEX_HOME", or "$PATH" for PATH) for unset, so a login shell with other quoting than POSIX leaves a variable alone rather than setting it to its name. TestShellEnvNushell runs the probe through a nushell on the machine (skipped where there is none) and checks the command's shape anyway; TestParseShellEnvUnexpanded feeds the unexpanded answer. Verified against nushell 0.116.0: PATH comes back, CODEX_HOME from the environment reaches sh, unset variables are "". (#739)

A shell whose PATH lacks that folder gets its own button naming its profile (~/.zshrc, ~/.bash_profile on the Mac or ~/.bashrc, fish's config.fish), which links into ~/.local/bin and adds that folder with one marked line, once; no profile is written otherwise.
