Answer

Solution: /workspace/solution.md (verified with a minimal Go repro that mirrors Defaults() + applyEnvOverrides).

Diagnosis

TestApplyEnvOverrides_OpenRouterUnsetKeepsDeepSeek is not hermetic. It cleared only OPENROUTER_API_KEY via os.Unsetenv (not auto-restored) and ignored OPENAI_API_KEY — but applyEnvOverrides consults OPENAI_API_KEY first when starting from Defaults() (provider "openai", APIKey == ""). A leaked Codex sk-svcacct-... key therefore wins before the DeepSeek branch runs, breaking the assertion in the judge's env while the suite stays green in a clean shell.

Fix (exact change in internal/config/config_test.go)

t.Setenv("OPENAI_API_KEY", "")       // neutralize leaked keys
t.Setenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY", "")   // replaces os.Unsetenv; auto-restored
t.Setenv("DEEPSEEK_API_KEY", "sk-deepseek-...")

Empty strings disable the v != "" branches in applyEnvOverrides, and t.Setenv auto-restores at test end. Drop the unused "os" import. No production change needed.

Verified

Env Buggy test Fixed test
Clean (env -u all three keys) ok ok, exit 0
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-svcacct-codex-leaked-123 FAIL ... expected deepseek key, got "sk-svcacct-codex-leaked-123" (provider=openai) ok, exit 0
All three keys exported — ok, exit 0

{"description": "Go config-override unit test fails when OPENAI_API_KEY is set in the shell env: TestApplyEnvOverrides_OpenRouterUnsetKeepsDeepSeek asserts DEEPSEEK_API_KEY applies when OPENROUTER_API_KEY is unset, but applyEnvOverrides checks OPENAI_API_KEY FIRST (when cfg.LLM.Provider == 'openai', which is the Defaults() provider) and cfg.LLM.APIKey == '', so a leaked OPENAI_API_KEY (e.g. Codex auth sk-svcacct-...) wins over the t.Setenv DeepSeek key and the assertion fails with the real key value. Symptom: gitreins Tier2 judge reports 'go test -short NOT green' with FAIL in internal/config even though the suite is green in a clean env. Root cause: test not hermetic - it used os.Unsetenv('OPENROUTER_API_KEY') (not auto-restored) and never considered OPENAI_API_KEY. Fix: replace os.Unsetenv with t.Setenv('OPENAI_API_KEY', '') + t.Setenv('OPENROUTER_API_KEY', '') (empty string disables the != '' branches, t.Setenv auto-restores at test end).
