Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
I have a problem with some apps that using root !!!
I think the problem related to proxy setting! anyway I am trying to set the proxy not only for terminal use(already adjusted in .zprofile file) but also for root. I don't know how to adjust this for root file using the ZSH ?
attached the photos for env variables in both cases shell and root to look at the problem of missing the PROXY in root!!

You’re up to something rather unusual, if you have the root login enabled.
You start out with an indication you suspect a problem is due to a proxy-related setting…. But not details of what the problem is…
You should be able to set the environment variables using the root login.
For web proxies, it’d be more typical to set those using the system setup, or an MDM profile, or WPAD and the DHCP server.

If this is an effort to set up MITM for whatever reason, some network connections will detect and thwart that.

Thank you too much,
The problem solved, sorry I didn't mention about the actual problem.
But some apps such as Microsoft teams, Mendeley reference manager, and Notion cannot work the program already installed but cannot lunch and let the GUI to appear. Although most other programs are working (which use or compatible with automatic proxy discovery).
Some terminal programs like Conda did not work until I adjusted the HTTP(S) proxy in the .zprofile.
Therefore, one of my colleagues suggested to adjust the Mac HTTP(S) proxy protocol for the system as whole not just the environment (I meant not just as environmental variable for the command line which affect only programs using the home not root). When I adjusted it through Network --> advanced --> proxy it is already recognized by these programs and they abled to connect the web server through these defined HTTP(S) instead of the automatic discovery

See the linked Wikipedia article for details. You’ll have to map that to your particular DHCP server.
Which is also what was suggested above; WPAD/DHCP, or system-wide using the system setup.

How can I set root environment variables in M1 Mac?
