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

Start by comparing the relevant startup.sh entry script with the Connect product's startup.sh linked in the issue, focusing on how startup output is logged. Confirm which startup paths expose license information, then verify that the container no longer logs the license key while retaining the intended startup behavior.
