Devenv python tool (uv) $PATH entry uses relative paths, causing things to break when changing to a subdirectory #1763
Description
Describe the bug
The built-in uv + python3 support adds relative paths to $PATH for tools, which breaks when changing to a subdirectory
To reproduce
Create a new devenv with python and uv support enabled, add a package providing tools (Panda3D for example with multify and obj2egg) and then create a subdirectory. Try running a tool provided by the package installed (multify for example.) Now change to the subdirectory and try to run the tool. It won't work.

Usage: multify -[c|r|u|t|x] -f <multifile_name> [options] <subfile_name> ...

As you can see above, ./.devenv/state/venv/bin is added to the PATH, instead of an absolute path.
Version
xanderm@morgancore ~/forse> devenv version
devenv 1.3.1 (x86_64-linux)
I'm using the version from nixpkgs. I'd be happy to send over my configs if that's needed.
