docs: drop ~/.zshrc env note in favor of GSTACK_* env-shim reference

The CLAUDE.md "Where the keys live on this machine" block hand-rolled a
`grep ~/.zshrc | eval` recipe to surface ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY
inside Conductor workspaces. That predates the GSTACK_* env-shim
(`lib/conductor-env-shim.ts`, v1.39.2.0+) which promotes
GSTACK_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY / GSTACK_OPENAI_API_KEY to their canonical names
inside gstack's TS binaries automatically.

The zshrc recipe is now an obsolete workaround. Replace with a short note
pointing at the env-shim as the canonical answer. Keep the Agent SDK
\`env: {...}\` gotcha (still real, unrelated to where the key comes from).

`test:evals` requires `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`. Codex E2E tests (`test/codex-e2e.test.ts`)
use Codex's own auth from `~/.codex/` config — no `OPENAI_API_KEY` env var needed.
**Where the keys live on this machine.** Conductor workspaces don't inherit the
user's interactive shell env, so `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` and `OPENAI_API_KEY` aren't
in the default process env. Before running any paid eval / E2E, source them from
`~/.zshrc` (that's where Garry keeps them):
**Env keys in Conductor workspaces.** The `GSTACK_*` env-shim (v1.39.2.0+,
`lib/conductor-env-shim.ts`) promotes `GSTACK_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` /
`GSTACK_OPENAI_API_KEY` to their canonical names inside gstack's TS binaries.
Tests run through gstack entrypoints inherit this promotion automatically.
Don't echo the key value to stdout, logs, or shell history. When passing to a
test's Agent SDK, do NOT pass `env: {...}` to `runAgentSdkTest` — the SDK's
auth pipeline doesn't pick up the key the same way when env is supplied as an
object (confirmed failure mode). Mutate `process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`
ambiently before the call and restore in `finally`.
```bash
bash -c '
eval "$(grep -E "^export (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY|OPENAI_API_KEY)=" ~/.zshrc)"
export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY OPENAI_API_KEY
EVALS=1 EVALS_TIER=periodic bun test test/skill-e2e-<whatever>.test.ts
'
```
Do not echo the key value anywhere (stdout, logs, shell history). The grep+eval
pattern keeps it in process env only. When passing to a test's Agent SDK, do NOT
pass `env: {...}` to `runAgentSdkTest` — the SDK's auth pipeline doesn't pick up
the key the same way when env is supplied as an object (confirmed failure mode).
Instead, mutate `process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY` ambiently before the call and
restore in `finally`.
E2E tests stream progress in real-time (tool-by-tool via `--output-format stream-json
--verbose`). Results are persisted to `~/.gstack-dev/evals/` with auto-comparison
against the previous run.
