+## Review: approve
+
+External reviewer: `remove-insomnia-pod-command-reviewer-20260531`
+Reviewed implementation commit: `c618fa6` (`cli: remove pod command env override`)
+Verdict: approve
+
+Summary:
+- `INSOMNIA_POD_COMMAND` is removed as an active runtime/config/test override.
+- Pod runtime launch remains typed through `PodRuntimeCommand`, defaulting to current executable plus the `pod` prefix argument.
+- SpawnPod tests now use typed injection rather than process-wide env mutation.
+- Production spawn/restore paths still use `PodRuntimeCommand::resolve()`, preserve detached process handling, and retain the ready/socket delivery behavior.
+
+Requirements mapping:
+- No active non-work-item `INSOMNIA_POD_COMMAND` references remain in the implementation branch.
+- No replacement env var was introduced.
+- No `insomnia-pod` binary/alias, Pod protocol/flag/profile semantic changes, or `tui` rename were introduced.
+
+Blockers: none.
+
+Non-blocking follow-up:
+- Merge conflict in `docs/environment.md` is expected after `eliminate-test-only-env-vars`; integration should keep the newer generic test-only wording while preserving removal of explicit `INSOMNIA_POD_COMMAND` references.
+
+Validation adequacy:
+- Coder validation covered fmt, helper/client/pod tests, cargo check, doctor, diff check, and active-reference grep.
+- Reviewer additionally reran targeted tests/checks in the implementation worktree and confirmed no active refs for `INSOMNIA_POD_COMMAND`, `POD_COMMAND_OVERRIDE_ENV`, `from_override_env`, or `executable_only` outside work items.
