With a tool that reads the environment, run it via run vs tool:
go run ./mytool > env.old
go tool mytool > env.new
diff env.old env.newresults:

go related environment variables are all explicitly set
What did you expect to see?
go envs aren't set.
For context, I wanted to use https://github.com/ko-build/ko for building multi platform container images, however, it refuses to run due to conflicting configuration of single vs multiple target platforms:
$ go tool ko apply ./cmd/moo
Error: error creating builder: error setting up builder options: cannot use --platform or defaultPlatforms in .ko.yaml or env KO_DEFAULTPLATFORMS combined with GOOS="linux"
