In internal/godebug the setUpdate method is used to watch for changes to the environment variable GODEBUG. This is used by tests such as the archive/zip test TestInsecurePaths or any test using t.Setenv.

To solve this I added a way to inject a JS Proxy into process.env that calls a callback when any environment variable is set, the callback will handle the rest of the update and call the function provided to setUpdate.

Testing this was a little hard since godebug is used by tests. I solved this by creating a go:link from a test that is external to godebug.

This is part of #1270

I'd like to avoid modifying the global environment, since it creates a risk of conflicting with some other library, even if the chance of that happening in stdlib tests is slim.

Since we are already overriding Setenv/Getenv implementations, can we implement the hook at Go level instead?

That makes sense. I was trying to make the injection such that any other proxy could also inject on top or below it, but it is worrying that it is modifying process.env. I'll see if I can implement this inside of syscall/syscall_js_wasm.go with the runtimeSetenv/runtimeUnsetenv methods using just go.

It does appear that anytime this callback is being used is being done via testing SetEnv and not something else like command to set environment variables some other way, so having a more broad watcher shouldn't be needed.

I'll rework it.

Yeah, I can also imagine runtimes that doesn't allow reassigning process.env, or some code trying to use reflection on it and having issues as a result.
