Problem Statement
I'm using a sandbox that replaces placeholder text with a secret. It works for the auth token but doesn't for custom headers because the environment variable needs to be "key: value".
Proposed Solution
If custom headers support interpolation, I could define the header as "key: env:SPECIAL_VAR" and then set the secret for SPECIAL_VAR.
Codex supports this right now through their env_http_headers and I'd like to do the same with Claude Code.
