The only way to do this infallibly is to put "setopt xtrace" in /etc/zshenv.

If the scripts are NOT run with the -f flag, you can place that
command in a file named ".zshenv" in a temporary directory, and export
ZDOTDIR to point at that temporary directory.

The only other option is to edit the #! line of each script and change
-f to -fx.
