+"""Newline in bridged session env must not become shell code via the snapshot.
+
+Regression for issue #71296: bash 3.2 ``export -p`` prints a value containing
+a newline as a multi-line ``declare -x NAME="…`` block. The old line-based
+``grep -vE`` filter removed only the opener; continuation lines (e.g.
+``curl … | bash #`` smuggled into a Matrix room/display name) persisted into
+the shared terminal snapshot and executed on the next ``source``, with stdout
+discarded by the wrapper.
