The substring check env[key].indexOf(--permission) !== -1 in copyPermissionModelFlagsToEnv falsely treats unrelated NODE_OPTIONS values like --title=--permission as if the child already has an explicit Permission Model policy. This prevents flag propagation, causing the child to run without process.permission. Signed-off-by: Matteo Collina <hello@matteocollina.com>

Description
Fix a bug in
copyPermissionModelFlagsToEnvwhere the substring checkenv[key].indexOf('--permission') !== -1falsely treats unrelatedNODE_OPTIONSvalues like--title=--permissionas if the child already has an explicit Permission Model policy. This prevents flag propagation, causing the child to run withoutprocess.permission.Fix
Replace the substring check with a helper
hasPermissionFlagInEnv()that tokenizesNODE_OPTIONSand checks for exact--permission/--permission-audittokens.Tests
Adds regression tests for:
NODE_OPTIONS=--title=--permissionNODE_OPTIONS=--conditions=--permissionNODE_OPTIONS=--trace-event-categories=--permissionNODE_OPTIONS=--title=--permission-audit
