3//! macOS / Linux GUI launches (Finder double-click, Dock, Spotlight,
4//! `open <bundle>.app`) hand the app a minimal environment:
5//! `PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin`, no `NVM_DIR`, no `HOMEBREW_PREFIX`,
6//! no `JAVA_HOME`, …
7//!
8//! That breaks every child process Mountain or its extensions spawn:
9//! - Cocoon's `node` binary can't find Homebrew installs (`/opt/homebrew/bin`,
10//!   `/usr/local/bin`).
11//! - Language servers (rust-analyzer, gopls, pyright) probe `PATH` and fail to
12//!   launch.
13//! - Git extensions invoking `git` fall back to `/usr/bin/git` (Apple's ancient
14//!   stock copy) instead of the Homebrew one.
15//!
16//! VS Code, Atom, and most other Electron editors solve this by spawning
17//! the user's interactive shell with `-ilc env` once at boot and merging
18//! the result into the process environment. We do the same here.
19//!
20//! Skipped when:
21//! - The launcher is already a TTY (the user invoked from a terminal - PATH is
22//!   already correct).
23//! - `Walk=0` (matches the existing knob users may rely on).
24//! - The shell probe fails or times out (best-effort; never fatal).
