Some environment variables, defined in hyprland.conf, don't show up in printenv or echo output

[izmyname]

Some environment variables, defined in hyprland.conf like AQ_DRM_DEVICES and XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP, don't show up in printenv and echo output. For comparison, here's my hyprland.conf env variables.

#using integrated GPU for rendering
#https://wiki.hyprland.org/Configuring/Multi-GPU/
#lspci | \grep -E 'VGA|3D'
#ls -l /dev/dri/by-path
env = AQ_DRM_DEVICES,/dev/dri/card1

#XDG specs
env = XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP,Hyprland
env = XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP,Hyprland
env = XDG_SESSION_TYPE,wayland

#cursor
env = XCURSOR_THEME,catppuccin-mocha-dark-cursors
env = XCURSOR_SIZE,24
env = HYPRCURSOR_THEME,catppuccin-mocha-dark
env = HYPRCURSOR_SIZE,24

#forcing everything to run on native wayland
env = GDK_BACKEND,wayland
env = SDL_VIDEODRIVER,wayland
env = CLUTTER_BACKEND,wayland
env = QT_QPA_PLATFORM,wayland
env = MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND,1
env = EGL_PLATFORM,wayland
env = ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT,wayland 

#other vars
env = QT_QPA_PLATFORMTHEME,qt6ct
env = _JAVA_AWT_WM_NONREPARENTING,1

Here's printenv output

e.g echo $AQ_DRM_DEVICES returns an empty string.

It's worth to mention, that:

1. This is a regression, as variables used to show up in the output on 0.43 and earlier.
2. Variables do their thing, despite their absence in the output.
3. The method of starting Hyprland (systemd service or by typing Hyprland in tty) doesn't matter.

uhhh... odd. Environment should be passed through with execl... Maybe I am missing something in posix

Reopen this one, too, for further references or if it helps to solve some issues caused by it. This isn't really a problem, though, as variables still work.
