The allowSystemApps gate (homeDir == systemHome) was effectively a no-op in
production: systemHome came from os.UserHomeDir, which honors the $HOME env
override just like homeDir, so the two were always equal and the gate never
fired when $HOME was overridden.
ResolveSystemHomeDir now prefers the OS user database (getpwuid on Unix),
which is independent of $HOME, falling back to $HOME only when the user record
cannot be resolved. Production behavior is unchanged (a real $HOME still
matches); an isolated/overridden HOME now correctly skips machine-wide
/Applications discovery for zcode/minimax. The app surface references the same
shared resolver.
This is the correct fix for the hermeticity concern (machine-wide state leaking
into an isolated HOME): there is no cross-surface production inconsistency to
port — script installers always operate on the real user HOME in practice, so
they need no gate.
