The first cut of this change moved the hook token off argv along with the payload — first via `-H @-` (header from stdin), which curl <7.55 silently drops (breaking agent statuses on 2013-2017-era SSH remotes), then via `-K -` (config from stdin), which works on old curl but reads stdin as a curl *config file*: a newline in the token could smuggle a `url =`/`output =` directive, so it needed a UUID-charset guard to be safe. That whole mechanism existed only to hide a per-session, loopback-only UUID that a same-user process already reads from the 0600 endpoint file, and that the Windows path already leaves on argv. The mitigation was out of proportion to the asset. Send the token as a plain `-H` header on argv instead. The security wins that matter are unchanged: the endpoint file is still parsed never sourced (the code-exec fix), the payload — the prompt and tool output — is still off argv in a private temp file, and `--noproxy 127.0.0.1` still blocks loopback proxy exfil. The token's argv exposure is same-user only and now matches the documented Windows behavior. The PR no longer changes any curl version requirement. Also adds service-level script-pinning tests for gemini/copilot/droid and fixes two Windows-only test bugs (devin cmd assertions, kimi USERPROFILE). STA-1284 Co-authored-by: Orca <help@stably.ai>
