Summary

Gateway host exec env override handling did not consistently apply the shared host environment policy, so blocked or malformed override keys could slip through inconsistent sanitization paths.

• src/infra/host-env-security.ts now provides one shared sanitizer and fail-closed diagnostics for blocked or malformed override keys.
• src/agents/bash-tools.exec.ts and src/node-host/invoke-system-run.ts both route env overrides through the shared sanitizer before execution.

OpenClaw thanks @zpbrent for reporting.
