LTS-5452: README step to set credentials as env vars - #8
Adds a Set your credentials step to the README. It covers exporting BROWSERSTACK_USERNAME / BROWSERSTACK_ACCESS_KEY in the shell (macOS/Linux and PowerShell) and never committing them. The CLI reads both from the environment.
Asked for in BrowserStack Security's retest of LTS-5452: the sample READMEs had no step for setting credentials.
Added Windows-specific instructions for downloading and running the CLI across the setup guides.
Added macOS, Linux, and Windows instructions for setting BrowserStack credentials in the current terminal session, including guidance on keeping credentials out of committed files.

Walkthrough
The repository documentation now identifies the Windows CLI binary, explains how to set BrowserStack credentials in macOS/Linux shells and PowerShell, and includes Windows commands for running tests. The ignore rules also exclude browserstack-cli.exe.
The READMEs document shell-specific commands for setting BrowserStack credentials. They note that the variables last for the current terminal session and warn against committing or exposing credentials.
CLI test commands README.md, java/README.md, jest/README.md, junit-4/README.md, junit-5/README.md, serenity-cucumber/README.md, testng/README.md
The READMEs add Windows PowerShell commands to run the CLI and update the run and results step numbering.
The updated setup guidance is mergeable after normal checks.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to cdf70
The instructions keep credentials out of committed configuration, but entering an access key directly into an interactive command can leave it in shell history. Exposure requires access to that history or a copy; no new service privileges or network entrypoints are introduced.
Retained concerns
Low · security · inferred: The newly prescribed literal-key commands can persist a BrowserStack access key in shell history, extending its lifetime beyond the intended process environment. Another principal must obtain that history or a copy to exploit the exposure; the available evidence does not establish the key's full authority.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The supported exposure is a user's BrowserStack credential retained on the execution workstation or in a history copy. Successful misuse would inherit that credential's permissions; the evidence does not establish cross-tenant access, organization-wide authority, or production-data access.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The two retained findings describe the same conditional path: a user substitutes a real key into the new command examples, shell history retains the command, and someone with access to that history or a copy obtains the key. History settings or filtering can interrupt this path; the README does not prescribe such protection.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
inferred — The relevant boundary is between transient credential use and durable command-history storage. Keeping keys out of repository files does not by itself protect this separate storage location, and ending the shell session does not necessarily remove a retained command.

Hidden prompt for the access key so it stays out of bash/zsh and
PSReadLine history (CodeRabbit); note the variables last for the current
session and how to spot an unset one; per-repo fixes from the code review.

Prompt and export on one line, so pasting the block can't feed the export line to read. Robot: per-OS signature check, .gitignore for the CLI binary. Selenium: ignore browserstack-cli.exe.

zsh (macOS default) has interactive_comments off, so pasted '#' lines printed errors; the labels now sit outside the sh fences. The placement note names browserstack-cli.exe for Windows.

codesign -dv's TeamIdentifier can be forged on an ad hoc signature; require an Apple-anchored leaf cert with OU YQ5FZQ855D instead (checked against the current macOS arm64 build: passes; a wrong OU fails). Add chmod +x after unzip (CodeRabbit).
