           server-side environment variable expansion in specified command
           lines. Expansion defaults to enabled for all execution types except

+          compatibility reasons. --scope will be flipped to default enabled too
           in a future release, so if you are using --scope and passing a '$'

           --expand-environment=yes/no according to the use case.
