Bug description

Creating a new workspace fails with git: command not found and scutil: command not found. The app spawns /bin/sh to run commands, but the child process has an extremely minimal PATH that does not include /usr/bin or /usr/sbin.

Both git and scutil are present on the system at their standard locations (/usr/bin/git, /usr/local/bin/git, /usr/sbin/scutil), so this is not a missing dependency — the spawned shell simply cannot find them.

Setting the system-wide GUI app PATH via sudo launchctl config user path and rebooting does not resolve the issue, suggesting the app may be explicitly overriding or clearing the PATH environment variable when spawning child processes.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add a repository
2. Click "Create Workspace"
3. Workspace creation fails immediately
