Added INSOMNIA_POD_RUNTIME_COMMAND as a narrow development escape hatch for dogfooding/self-rebuild cases where current_exe() can point at a deleted debug binary.

Implementation:

• Added the override in client::PodRuntimeCommand.
• Unset/empty values preserve the default current_exe() + ["pod"] behavior.
• Non-empty values replace only the executable path and still automatically receive the pod prefix argument.
• The value is not shell-parsed and is not argument-split.
• Spawn/restore failure diagnostics include the resolved runtime command.
• Documented the variable in docs/environment.md as development-only, not normal user configuration.
• Did not reintroduce INSOMNIA_POD_COMMAND or old executable-without-prefix semantics.

Review:

• External reviewer dev-pod-runtime-env-reviewer-20260531 approved implementation commit 0031953ed352ba7fae9e798b6aeee1e8ea080816.
• Reviewer noted a non-blocking future improvement: display formatting for runtime commands could quote argv pieces with spaces more clearly.

Validation after merge:

• cargo fmt --check
• cargo test -p client runtime_command
• cargo test -p client
• cargo check -p client -p pod -p tui -p insomnia (passed with existing dead-code warnings)
• ./tickets.sh doctor
• git diff --check
• git grep -n "INSOMNIA_POD_COMMAND" -- ':!work-items' || true produced no active references.
