     """Return a shell snippet that dumps ``export -p`` to *tmp_path* minus the
     per-session bridged vars (see ``_SNAPSHOT_EXCLUDED_ENV_REGEX``).
 
-    ``export -p`` emits one ``declare -x NAME="value"`` line per exported var.
-    We drop the HERMES_SESSION_* / UI / CRON_AUTO_DELIVER lines so they never
-    persist across sessions in the shared snapshot. ``grep -vE`` returns exit 1
-    when it filters everything, so ``|| true`` keeps the pipeline's success
-    contract intact for the callers that chain on it.
+    Unset the bridged vars in a subshell *before* ``export -p``. A line-based
+    ``grep -vE`` filter is unsafe: bash 3.2 prints a value containing a newline
+    as a multi-line ``declare -x NAME="…`` block, so only the opener matches the
+    regex and continuation lines (e.g. ``curl … | bash #`` smuggled into a
+    Matrix room/display name via ``HERMES_SESSION_CHAT_NAME``) land in the
+    snapshot and execute on the next ``source`` (issue #71296). Unsetting first
+    means ``export -p`` never emits those vars — including any continuation
+    lines. ``|| true`` keeps the success contract for callers that chain on it.
 
-    The pipeline MUST be wrapped in a brace group with the redirection applied
-    to the group, not to the last pipeline segment. *tmp_path* typically embeds
-    ``$BASHPID`` for concurrency-safe temp names; a redirection attached
-    directly to ``grep`` is expanded inside grep's own pipeline subshell, where
-    ``$BASHPID`` resolves to the grep subshell's PID — while the caller's
-    follow-up ``mv $tmp`` expands in the parent shell to a DIFFERENT PID. The
-    dump then lands in an orphaned temp file and the snapshot silently never
-    updates (all exported-env persistence breaks). The brace-group redirect is
-    expanded in the current shell, keeping both expansions consistent.
