This diagram is not entirely correct.

The remote bash startup order is further complicated by the existence of a compile time flag SSH_SOURCE_BASHRC. This flag determines if a remote non-interactive shell will load the ~/.bashrc file.

This flag is turned off by default and stays off in some distributions (like Archlinux), but is turned on in others (Debian, Fedora, ...) to replicate very old rsh behaviour.
