Summary: When flipper starts it writes to both env vars the value from settings. This is needed for subprocesses to have access to them. The problem with the check for both env vars is - In prod environment applications does not have access to them - In dev, when developers launch flipper from terminal (`yarn run flipper-server`) it picks up these env vars if they are set which can cause different behaviour in dev and prod To make flipper work more deterministic, for users and us. I removed this check and now we always write to these env vars what the user has provided in flipper settings or the default.

Flipper Desktop
This folder contains everything to run the Flipper 'Desktop', that is, the UI which you use to interact with the device / app under debug.
Packages provided here:
- flipper-common: utilities & types shared between client, server, and plugins
- flipper-server-core: all device & client management goes in here. Basically flipper's backend
- flipper-ui-core: all UI goes in here, as far as it doesn't depend on Electron
- app: the Electron app, will load flipper-server-core and flipper-ui-core, and glue them together, providing implementations for some electron specific stuff like dialogs
- flipper-server: A node process hosting flipper-server-core that can be connected to over websockets. Also, it can serve a browser version of the UI as well.
- flipper-ui-browser: thin wrapper around flipper-ui-core, providing some browser specific behavior / stubs.
- flipper-dump: (might remove later) as an alternative way to test flipper-server-core.
- flipper-plugin: The flipper SDK used by plugins. Exposes all API's that can be used by plugins
- pkg: CLI tool to manage building flipper plugins
- pkg-lib
- plugin-lib
- babel-transformer
- doctor
- eslint-plugin-flipper
