Description
Original issue: https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio-docker-products/issues/513
Can we enable a debug mode for the startup.sh entry script like this one for the Connect product so that license information is not leaked to logging facilities?
https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio-docker-products/blob/dev/connect/startup.sh
The security team for the customer for support ticket 87291 raised a concern that they consider the license key sensitive data that the container should not log.

Research direction

Confirm which startup paths expose license information, then verify that the container no longer logs the license key while retaining the intended startup behavior.
