Description
with ssh the `LC_*` variables are inherited from the client session. with ssh3 they are system defaults.
```
$ grep -ri Env /etc/ssh/ssh*_config
/etc/ssh/ssh_config: SendEnv LANG LC_*
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:# Allow client to pass locale environment variables
/etc/ssh/sshd_config:AcceptEnv LANG LC_*
```
ssh3
```

Research direction
No source files or tests are named, so start by tracing the SSH3 client and server environment-handling entry points and comparing them with the documented SendEnv/AcceptEnv behavior. Reproduce the locale example, then add coverage showing that configured LANG and LC_* values are inherited rather than replaced by system defaults.
