Miggo AIRoot Cause Analysis

The security patch modifies utils.js's getEnv() function to explicitly exclude the AEGIR_GHTOKEN environment variable from being included in the processed environment variables. This directly addresses the information exposure vulnerability by preventing the GitHub token from being bundled during aegir-release execution. The function would appear in runtime profiling as it's responsible for collecting environment variables during package publication.
