l0ng-aiandl0ng-ai 964576040f fix(shell): point $SHELL at the shell the pane actually runs (#348)
A pane configured to run fish still advertised the login shell, because
pane_environment() injected TERM, the TTY7_* markers and TERM_PROGRAM
but never touched SHELL -- so the pane inherited the GUI session's
login-time snapshot of it. Everything that spawns "the user's shell"
read that: tmux's default-shell started zsh inside a fish pane, and so
did sudo -s, an editor's shell escape, and any coding agent picking a
quoting dialect from $SHELL. The failure is silent -- fish rejects the
bash line, the agent's sentinel file never appears, and the rejected
text stays in the line editor to concatenate onto the next send.

Inject SHELL alongside the other markers, set to the absolute path of
the program the pane is about to exec. That program is read off argv
rather than off the shell tty7 resolved: an argv-replacing integration
injection and the parent-shell override both rewrite argv, while
CommandBuilder::get_shell() keeps answering the passwd entry.

Only an absolute path is ever written. A configured command may be bare
(the inventory keeps it bare so PATH decides which install wins), and
consumers exec $SHELL under a PATH of their own, so a bare name is
resolved against the PATH the pane will inherit -- the user's env-block
PATH when they set one -- and skipped when that finds nothing. A stale
login shell beats a name that resolves somewhere else.

An explicit SHELL in the user's env block still wins, the same
precedence TERM_PROGRAM has: tty7 describes the pane, the user's config
gets the last word.

Windows is deliberately left out. Neither cmd nor PowerShell reads
SHELL; the tools that do are the POSIX emulations (MSYS/Git Bash,
Cygwin, WSL), and they want a POSIX path, not the Windows one this
would have to give them. That also leaves the WSL pane alone, where the
pane program is wsl.exe and the distro's own login shell is the right
answer.

Native SSH panes are unaffected: they never build a local command, and
the remote sshd sets SHELL from the remote passwd entry.

Closes #342
