Hi Max, I just found an unfinished email to you from last week in my drafts folder. Here are bits that are still relevant I believe.
About the environment variables passed to the user session, I wonder why this is implemented in such a complicated way; I'm talking of the tails-env-helper + command line arguments thingie. Copying a file and appending lines to it should be done directly in Python, rather than by passing arguments to a helper program written in shell: the way it is currently implemented, if done right, requires you to deal with a well-known, rarely got right, problem: shell quoting; you really don't want to do that I believe, and the fact the current implementation does not deal with this issue at all is a big hint. Moreover, doing it in Python will make it much easier to support passing multiple envvars, which the current code does not support.
