CLion Remote Toolchain and Remote Host Environment Variable Synchronization

CLion allows developers to decouple the IDE from the build environment using Remote Toolchains via SSH. This setup synchronizes source code to a remote host and executes CMake commands using the remote system's compiler and debugger.

A discrepancy exists between the environment variables available in the remote shell and those recognized by the CLion CMake profile during the project load phase. While variables defined in the remote user's .bashrc or .zshrc are present during manual terminal execution, they may not be automatically inherited by the IDE's remote build process.

When relying on remote environment variables to locate third-party libraries or toolchain paths, it is unclear if CLion provides a mechanism to automatically sync the remote shell environment into the CMake profile without manual duplication in the IDE settings.

• Does CLion support automatic inheritance of remote shell environment variables for CMake profiles?
• What is the recommended method to ensure remote-only environment variables are consistently applied across different remote toolchain configurations?
